Captain Tork Buckley

INTRODUCTION CONTINUED

Site Designed

By

Tork Buckley

A quality shipyard will (as a minimum) follow the contract to the letter. As an experienced yacht operator I can help define & sometimes help to refine some of the interpretations of the spec.

 

From experience I understand the exact nature of Crew’s work & operational problems they have experienced. before.

 

Code & Class compliance (MCA, SOLAS, MARPOL, Class Society etc) is usually a contractual responsibility of the shipyard, however input from an experienced Captain may often aid negotiations.

 

I have extensive knowledge of, & contact with, specialist third party suppliers, brokers, Management Companies, Agents crew etc through my database compiled over 12 years.

Third Party suppliers provide items ranging from yacht management software through AV & Lighting, Fine Furniture, Tableware, Fine Art & virtually anything else imaginable or unimaginable.

Usually such items are Owner’s supply.

I will work with the Owner, Designer, Shipyard & Naval Architect & Supplier to specify, progress chase & facilitate purchase, design, commissioning & installation of these items.

This too is a co-operative exercise since the subcontractors time, lead time & logistical needs must mesh with those of the shipyard with minimum disruption.

Documenting the build by creating equipment & operating manuals for guests & crew may be another part of the my role, often using 3rd party contractors. This is especially important for yachts which will charter &/or be ISM compliant as some documents may be part of the statutorily required documents .

 

Designers & Shipyards often leave certain areas of the yacht open to client interpretation. I can provide advice & equipment specification for such areas: often Bridge, Galley, Service (Laundry, Pantry etc.) & technical spaces.

My operational knowledge & experience allows me to enhance ease of use & efficiency of these spaces.

 

I can co-ordinate planned maintenance & parts supply packages specific to the yacht using specialist subcontractors.
