What You Might Miss in Shipbuilding Contracts—And How to Catch It
How Your Team Can Detect Contract Risks Before They Sink Your Project | Case Study
Industry: Maritime & Shipbuilding | Region: Asia, Europe, North America | Use Case: AI-assisted contract review and risk clause flagging
Your shipyard builds complex vessels under high pressure. For one leading Asian consortium, every contract included layers of legal, technical, and regional complexity. A single vague clause or misaligned spec could delay delivery—or trigger a lawsuit worth millions.
To fix this, they turned to aiMDC. The AI read and compared every clause—across builders, suppliers, and insurers. It caught vague warranty terms, mismatched indemnities, and hidden gaps between engineering specs and contract promises.
With aiMDC in place, your team gets clean, aligned contracts. No surprises. No missed details. You reduce risk, avoid delays, and enter negotiations with total clarity.

Environment
Objective
Identify and flag potential legal and financial risks in shipbuilding contracts before signature
What was done
aiMDC was used to scan, compare, and analyse large contract sets—highlighting conflicting clauses, unclear terms, and liability exposure
Achievement
The shipyard consortium avoided significant downstream costs by detecting critical misalignments early in the negotiation phase. aiMDC flagged a contradiction between liability limitations and warranty duration clauses in three major contracts—helping legal teams clarify responsibilities before signing. It also identified missing references to regulatory inspection protocols, which could have invalidated warranties. These interventions prevented months of potential litigation and reputational fallout. Teams reported a 40% reduction in legal review cycles and greater cross-departmental confidence. The result was a proactive, risk-aware contracting process that protected multimillion-dollar shipbuilding investments while maintaining strong supplier and client relationships.
