🔹 Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Aren’t LFL manuals prepared by the suppliers? Why are you preparing this document?
A1: Suppliers only provide manuals specific to their own equipment. However, when multiple suppliers are involved in a system, the integrated introduction and functional description of these systems must be prepared either by the shipyard or by independent consultancy firms like ours.

Q2: Why is class approval so important for the LFL manual?
A2: Because the manual is designed to ensure maximum safety in vessel operations. Class approval guarantees that the document complies with international standards and safety regulations.

Q3: How long does it take to prepare the manual?
A3: The duration depends on the project scope. Collecting and reviewing all system documents and coordinating with the class society typically takes several months on average.

🌍 In today’s era, where the transition to environmentally friendly alternative fuels is gaining momentum, we consider the preparation of this manual highly valuable and would like to thank SEFINE SHIPYARD for choosing us. ⚓
