Our commitment
What we promise the industry.
Seven commitments. They are written into how the register is built, not just into how it is described — breaking one of them is a fault to be fixed, not a decision to be weighed.
01
Every accredited yard is listed, free.
No yard profile, contact detail, or capability figure is ever put behind a paywall. Every accredited yard has the same complete entry, and there is nothing it could pay us to improve it.
02
Fit decides the order.
Search results are ordered by how well a yard fits your vessel and how complete its record is. Nothing else enters that calculation — not payment, not a rating, not how recently the yard logged in. There is no advertising on the results page and no way to buy a place on it.
03
A yard that cannot take your vessel never appears.
The dimensional filter runs before anything else. If a facility cannot physically accept the dimensions you entered, nothing puts it in front of you — not a payment, not a promotion, not a note explaining that it is nearly big enough.
04
Nothing is self-declared and published.
Claims that affect whether a yard appears in a search — accreditation, facility dimensions, class approvals — are checked by us before they go live. A yard can correct its own record, and the changes that matter wait for review.
05
Every profile carries the date it was checked.
If a record has not been verified in twelve months, the page says so, in a warning you cannot miss. We do not hide staleness to make the register look better than it is.
06
The yard owns its record.
Any listed yard can export everything we hold about it, correct it, or ask to be removed. Those requests work, and they do not require a phone call.
07
No competitor sees your business.
A yard sees the enquiries and quotations addressed to it and nothing else — never another yard’s price, never how many others were asked, never who they were. This is the commitment we treat as a security boundary rather than a policy.
Hopes for the industry
What we would like to see happen.
More Philippine tonnage docked in Philippine yards. Owners choosing on capability rather than on acquaintance. Yards investing because they can see the demand, and planners working from a picture of the industry that is actually current.
None of that is ours to deliver alone. It needs yards, owners, regulators and lenders all working from the same picture of the industry — which is the part we can help with.
