Build Programmes
Every vessel this yard builds starts as a mission, not a model number. A passenger fast boat crossing from Bangsal to Gili Trawangan is engineered around turnaround time, seat count and the short, steep chop of the strait. A dive boat for Gili Air is designed around tank racks, compressor noise and how quickly guests can get back aboard. A liveaboard heading for Komodo is designed around tankage, range, crew accommodation and stability once cabins are full. This track collects the build programmes themselves: what each vessel type needs at the drawing stage, the specification decisions that cannot be changed later without cost, and the delivery planning that gets a finished hull from a Lombok yard to the route it will work. Read it before you fix a length or a budget, because mission drives both.
