See the whole yard at a glance — every project, work order, berth and invoice, on one dashboard.
A shipyard owner runs a capital-intensive yard with finite physical capacity — managing project pipeline, contractor governance, regulatory standing, margin per project, and the long-term value of the yard as an asset.
A shipyard is property + crane capacity + skilled labour + supplier network + reputation. Each is a finite resource that has to be matched to project pipeline.
A yard owner is measured on margin per project, not revenue. A €5M project at 4% margin is worse than a €1M project at 25%.
The 2026 reality, by the numbers
Yard ownership friction traces to information asymmetry with the project managers. PMs report what they want, when they want. Without real-time data, surprises are routine.
Calm yard owners share a pattern: direct visibility into projects, budgets, capacity and documents. The board meeting becomes strategic instead of reconstructive. See the Shipyard module.

Recurring pain points across shipyard owners — most reducible by one shared view of projects, budgets and capacity.
Most yard owners see quarterly accounts. By the time a project margin is visible, it is too late to act.
Budget against actual cost on every project shifts the conversation from explain-this to what-now.
Travel-lift capacity, hardstand sqm, skilled-labour availability — each finite, each with its own utilisation curve. Without integrated planning, slots go empty.
A 6-month refit slips to 8. The next project's start date drifts. The yard's booked capacity becomes unreliable.
Subcontractors come and go. Performance + safety + invoicing history live in the project manager's head.
Paint waste, fuel handling, biocide antifouling, sewage — the yard owner is the ultimate compliance accountability.
A long-serving project manager retires. Decades of yard knowledge walks out the door if it lived only in their head.
SupaSailing Shipyard gives the owner a customisable dashboard over projects, work orders, the planner, berths, revenue and invoices — for one yard or several.
Projects by status — planning, on track, delayed, over budget, completed — on a dashboard of 12 widgets you arrange.
Each project carries budget, actual cost and progress; work orders compare logged hours × yard rate with the estimate.
People on a drag-and-drop planner with overbooking warnings; berths on an occupancy grid that prevents double booking.
Purchase orders, supplier invoices and documents linked to each supplier — the history stays when a PM leaves.
Required-document dossiers with completeness tracking and expiry alerts for permits, certificates and safety plans.
Projects set to delayed or over budget stand out on the dashboard before the next booking is affected.
Dashboard widgets for revenue, invoices and occupancy, with bank statements reconciled against invoices.
Installable web app, plus a Telegram bot that answers on yard status, work orders and stock.
A representative month for a shipyard owner running 8 concurrent projects on SupaSailing.
Dashboard: 8 active projects, 3 in planning, 1 marked delayed. Revenue and open invoices on the same screen.
New refit inquiry. The planner and berth occupancy show who and where is free in September. Owner confirms the booking.
A project's actual cost passes its budget. Owner drills in: paint work orders ran over their estimated hours. The conversation with the PM happens now, not at project close.
Inspection visit. The compliance dossier shows which permits and certificates are present, current or expiring.
A subcontractor's insurance expires next week. Expiry alert, then an upload link; the renewal comes back checked and signed.
New travel-lift investment. Berth occupancy and work order volumes inform the case.
Projects, budgets, occupancy and documents in one dashboard. Strategic discussion replaces explain-this conversation.
What changes when a shipyard owner moves from quarterly accounts and yard walks to one shared dashboard.
Budget vs actual on each project, not only in the quarterly accounts.
People, absences and berths planned in one place, with overbooking and double-booking warnings.
Project status and the planner show slippage before the next booking.
Owner and PMs look at the same projects and numbers.
