The Titan team changed the mode of slipway management  to run as a “closed yard” operation in the New Year, primarily in order to provide greater quality control over the various subcontractors frequently employed within the yard.

”We believe the ability to work directly with the vessel allows transparency in time and cost for the client and gives our management team greater control in ensuring quality is maintained.” said Titan’s project manager, Anthony Bridge.
