EU Yards Pricing

Mark,

Choose a yard without a broker ( saves 5 % )
Choose the right flag ( saves 10-20 % Vat ) and bunker tax free fuel
Choose the right renomated Shipyard ( saves 50 % on the Sales price later )
Buy all Tenders and other Equipment directly in US etc. ( saves the exchange lost 20% )
Choose the right management Company ( saves 10-20% of the running costs )

I my opinion the purchase price is small against the year to year or day to day running costs.
Choose the right serious working Crew and save much money.

Try to get a better or longer Warranty from the European Shipyard and that takes you on the saver side for the next 2-3 Years.

Open your eyes or open your pocket that depends on you.
