3.0 TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
3.1 Design Process and Objectives
The following is the proposed process for the development of the subject design, which
provides for logical, progressive stages of design development. At the conclusion of each
stage there is a process of formal review and acceptance by the Client before commencing
any further design work. Each formal review and acceptance will also be the basis for a
payment milestone, as defined in Section 6.6.
3.1.1 Concept Design Phase
The objective of the Concept Design Phase is the preparation of initial design drawings and
supporting calculations to set out the basic vessel geometry, capacities, and machinery
requirements based on an agreed Statement of Operational Requirements (SOR), for Client
acceptance as the basis of all further design development. Several iterations of this Concept
Design are anticipated, with revisions to the SOR if necessary. The SOR contained in Annex
A is provided as the starting point for this process. The vessel configuration is anticipated to
be somewhat similar to the concept drawing for a 58 ft. pusher tug, attached as Annex B, but
with changes to suit your specific operational requirements.
3.1.2 Preliminary Design Phase
The Preliminary Design Phase represents the development of more detailed, but still
preliminary level design drawings and supporting calculations to verify vessel layout,
capacity and basic performance objectives. This stage of the Design represents the formal
definition of the "framework" of the vessel, and some further iteration is anticipated to arrive
at an agreed final design solution. The Statement of Requirements will be updated through
each of these iterations, as required, to reflect the evolution of the Design to the completion
of this Phase.
3.1.3 Contract Design Phase
Based on the final agreed Preliminary Design, the Design configuration and Statement of
Requirements will be "frozen". The objective of the Contract Design Phase is then to
develop a comprehensive set of design drawings and supporting calculations that will define
the vessel, its hull, outfit and machinery in sufficient detail to:
• Satisfy Client/Owner objectives for vessel performance

• Satisfy Client/Owner objectives for the configuration of the vessel, its major equipment
and operating systems as defined in the agreed final Statement of Requirements
-3-
ROBERT ALLAN LTD.
NAVAL ARCHITECTS

• Enable approval of the fundamental design by Classification Society and/or Flag State
authorities
• Enable a qualified shipyard to identify the equipment and the scope of work required to
construct the vessel in sufficient detail such that a reasonably fixed price for
construction can be offered to the Owner
This stage represents the completion of the design, to the extent required for typical Class
approval of the design, however it does not represent the definition of every part or
component of the vessel, many of which can only be determined by the building shipyard or
the Owner.
These Drawings should be considered as Guidance Drawings, indicating type, size, and class
of construction or arrangements required, and be used as the basis of development of
construction working drawings. The Guidance Drawings are based on preliminary
equipment selections and are intended to indicate the scope of work required to build the
vessel and are not intended for production. Drawings will require revision by the Shipyard to
incorporate final equipment selections and local construction techniques, preferences, and
shipyard standards.
While there will be a process of smaller design changes and refinements as the Contract
Design evolves, the basic configuration of the vessel as agreed at the completion of the
Preliminary Design Phase will not change during this phase without the potential for
triggering a Contract Change Order.
3.1.4 Production Design Phase
This phase of the design process is optional, and is directed primarily at the shipyard Client,
providing:
a. A 3-D steel product model for hull and superstructure construction, with fully lofted
and nested parts,
b. 3-D modelling and parts lists for major piping systems in the vessel, and
c. Preparation of individual spool pieces and associated material lists for the piping
systems defined in (b) above.
Item (a) can be selected alone. Item (b) cannot be selected without Item (a), and Item (c)
cannot be selected without Item (b). Item (b) can be selected without item (c).

legal responsibilities are protected, yet at the same time allow for the practical drawing
development and editing by a shipyard, the following procedure must be followed with
regards to drawings issued by Robert Allan Ltd. to the shipyard (or client):
1. The shipyard will receive an exact PDF copy of the Class Approved drawing. The client
will then receive the AutoCAD drawing with our signature block removed.
2. If the shipyard wishes that Robert Allan Ltd. makes a revision to a Robert Allan Ltd.
drawing, they will communicate their wishes to Robert Allan Ltd. who will make the
changes, increase the revision number in the drawing accordingly, and then re-issue to
the shipyard a PDF version as well as an updated, uncontrolled AutoCAD drawing.
3. The shipyard will be free to modify/develop the uncontrolled drawing as necessary,

however the shipyard must add the following note to the uncontrolled drawing, clearly
visible in standard text of at least 2mm in height, above the shipyard title block:
Quote:
This drawing is based on Robert Allan Ltd. Design No. __; "(Vessel Type Description per Robert
Allan Ltd. drawing)" and has been developed by (the shipyard name) for production purposes
only, with the written consent of Robert Allan Ltd.
