Abstract
The United States Coast Guard in consultation with ABS Consulting, conducted a study on the costs of marine engineering and naval architecture services and related industry practices in 2013. The goal for this study was to provide information on industry costs and practices to support the Coast Guard’s regulatory development program. The findings of this study provide information on the costs and the reasons for the variability of the costs for a suite of vessel inspection activities. The information compiled by this study indicates that there is not a general market for marine engineering and naval architecture services in the United States. Instead, the costs of each service are driven by the characteristics of the service and the vessels receiving the service.
