THE COMPANY
Find out more about Digital Dry Dock.
The FOUNDERS:
We are both qualified Naval Architects and Yacht Captains, so we understand the problems faced by ship builders, owners and operators.
We created Digital Dry Dock to provide services that save our clients time and money, important resources that can then be redirected.
We hope that ultimately this will manifest in better boats, safer working environments and accelerated deployment of net-zero marine infrastructure.
Our Philosophy
We take great pleasure in helping our clients to become more efficient and to build better boats.
We travel globally, respond quickly and recognise the importance of diligent, accurate reporting and data.
Our services reduce uncertainty and risk, freeing up our clients to focus on the other key elements of their project.
Our Values
STANDARDS
At every stage we adhere to the highest industry standards. Our company’s quality management system lays out the systematic approach we take to learn and grow from everything we do.
ETHICS
We are helping society transition to a zero-carbon economy by delivery of the latest digital services to our clients. We will provide employment and training to committed hard-working people of any race, religion, gender, sexual-orientation or nationality, without prejudice.
ENVIRONMENT
We work to a minimum paper use standard throughout all our operations. We supply products and services that help our clients reduce waste and minimise impact on natural systems.
