Our commitment
Our commitment to a trusted shipyard directory
Shipways is designed to make reliable shipyard information easier to find and compare. These principles guide how we manage listings, search results and enquiries.
01
Standard shipyard listings are free.
Accredited Philippine shipyards can create and maintain a complete standard listing without paying. Payment does not change verified facility information or capabilities.
02
Search results prioritise suitability.
Results are based on vessel requirements, shipyard capabilities and profile completeness. Payment does not determine placement in standard search results.
03
Search results focus on suitable facilities.
Vessel dimensions are compared with available facility information to help exclude shipyards that cannot accommodate the stated requirements. Shipowners should confirm final suitability directly with the shipyard.
04
Important information is reviewed.
Facility dimensions, accreditation and class approvals are reviewed using submitted documents and relevant public sources before they are marked as verified. Changes to verified information are reviewed before publication.
05
Verification dates are clearly shown.
Shipyard profiles show when important information was last reviewed. This helps users understand how current the information is and what may need to be confirmed directly with the shipyard.
06
Shipyards can manage their listings.
Authorised shipyard representatives can sign in to edit their profiles and keep their information current. Updates to verified information are reviewed before they are published.
07
Enquiries and quotations remain private.
A shipyard can access only the enquiries and quotations addressed to it. Shipways does not disclose another shipyard’s pricing, quotations or enquiry activity through the platform.
Hopes for the industry
Supporting the Philippine shipyard sector
We want to make it easier for shipowners to find Philippine shipyards with the facilities and services their vessels require. Clear and current information can help owners compare suitable yards and give capable local shipyards greater visibility.
Shipways supports this by bringing essential shipyard information together in one accessible directory.
