Why we exist
Three disciplines. One repair. Too many gaps.
On most repair projects the engineers, the commercial team and the operations crew each see a different job. Where their pictures don't match, money and time leak out. With MYMS in the middle, you get:
- Scope agreed before the vessel docks
- Estimates that reflect the real cost
- Change orders settled on clear evidence
- Invoices that end in a signature, not a dispute
MYMS works in the space between them, so everyone reads the same scope, the same cost and the same timeline. That is the whole job.
Who we work with
Two sides of the dock. One standard.
For shipyards
Win better work. Keep more of the margin.
Sharper estimating, cleaner invoicing and teams that can run it themselves.

For shipowners & ship managers

Our long-term programme moves in three steps. Each builds on the last, and the aim is always that your team owns the result.

You getA diagnostic report, maturity score, gap analysis and a prioritised action plan.
-
Step 2
Fix
We stay to put the improvements in place alongside your people, so the plan turns into everyday practice.
You getSOPs, standard reporting, risk registers and coaching while the change beds in.
-
Step 3
Train
We build the skills that keep the gains: focused courses for estimators, invoicers and planners.
You getCustom modules, case exercises, competency checklists and certification.

For shipowners & ship managers
Owner-side dry dock oversight, end to end.
Independent advice at each stage of the repair, so you have control even when you can't be on board.
01 · Before docking
Choose the right yard, at the right price.
The decisions made before arrival shape everything after it.
- Tender review & yard selectionWe compare yard tenders side by side and surface hidden risks in scope, price and exclusions.
- Scope validationWe check the work list against the vessel's condition, class history and obligations, so there are fewer surprises after docking.
02 · In the dock
See progress and cost as they happen.
Control without needing someone on board every day.
- Progress & cost oversightWe track progress, KPIs and change orders, and can represent the owner at the yard.
03 · At redelivery
Pay a fair bill. Sail with clean papers.
The repair isn't done until the paperwork is.
- Invoice verificationWe match the final bill to milestones and approved change orders, then accept or challenge it in writing.
- Class documentation & close-outWe compile and check the final dossier, certificates and QA/QC files for class, flag and owner.

Questions
Good to know
What does a ship repair consultant do?
We sit between the technical, commercial and operational sides of a repair. For yards that means better estimating, invoicing and planning. For owners it means independent checks on tenders, scope, progress and the final bill.
Who do you work with?
Shipyards that want stronger repair departments, and shipowners and ship management companies that want independent oversight of their repairs.
Where do you work?
We are headquartered at Bahrain Financial Harbour and work across the Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Do you need to be on site?
Not always. Our delivery model is remote-ready, and we are on site when the work calls for it.
Can you help with a single tender?
Yes. Our on-demand services cover one-off needs such as a tender estimate, a cost validation or an invoice package.
How do we start?
Most yards start with a department assessment. Owners usually start with a tender review before docking. Write to us and we'll suggest the right first step.
