Trials, Commissioning and Acceptance

Commissioning is where the schedule is won or lost, and where "it worked on the day" quietly replaces evidence. A campaign planned as evidence gathering gives you an approval case and a client handover at the same time.

What gets done

  • Trials strategy. What has to be proven, to whom, and in what order.
  • Factory, harbour and site acceptance testing, with protocols written to sign-off lines rather than tick boxes.
  • Test cards and acceptance criteria that point to your vessel specification, so nothing carries somebody else's numbers into your programme.
  • Observations and defects register, with severity, ownership and closure.
  • Degraded mode and failure testing, including loss of communications and loss of control.
  • FMEA workshops for the platform and for the operation around it, which is the part usually left out.
  • Witnessing on behalf of a buyer, or running the campaign on behalf of a builder.

What you get

A trials plan and protocol set. A completed evidence pack that stands up in front of a client or an approver rather than a folder of photographs. And a clear written position at the end: accepted, accepted with conditions, or not accepted, with the reasoning shown.

How it runs

Either as a defined campaign with an agreed output, or as support to your own trials team.

Buyer-side witnessing and builder-side delivery are never taken on the same programme. If that is what you are asking for, you will be told so at the first call.
