DOCUMENTATION
FD Group supports shipyards and owners
The structure and content of the manuals are defined together with the shipyard, based on the specific characteristics of the vessel and in compliance with applicable industry regulations. Manuals are essential not only for certification purposes but also for providing the crew with practical support in understanding the vessel, managing operations and responding effectively in emergency situations.
FD Group specialists
We support the development of multilingual owner’s manuals, which describe the main on-board equipment, operating procedures, routine maintenance activities and safety aspects. At the shipyard’s request, we also assist in the preparation of system manuals. These are not mandatory but provide significant operational value and have proven effective over time in reducing corrective maintenance and service costs.
Our specialists simplify highly technical content concerning electrical, plumbing, fire protection, communication and other on-board systems, making it accessible to non-specialists without compromising accuracy or completeness.
