Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Building a psub for sale?

[MerlinSub@t-online.de (Carsten Standfuß)]

Okay - but this is a complete different thing. 
I did it on my main job each day - full certificate ships 
to carry Passangers, or Rescue-, or Firefighter- or Policeman. 

That means you are more or less a comercial yard producing
vessel. No problem. 

The problem is : 

- You can have a selfbuild sub for about 15.000 USD/euro material. 
  And you are responsible for that sub.

- You can have the same sub size, designed and build by 
  me or according to your idears of size and how it should work 
  for about 75.000 USD/Euro - and if you agree that you are still 
  responsible for this sub. 

- You can have the same sub size, designed and build by me
  with all certifcation and documentation of Lloyds, MCA, any
  additional national and international standard, pressure chamber
  test etc.. for about 250.000 USD.. and I agree that I am responsible 
  for this sub - but is that a PSUB ? 

Ps : I am just working at my main job on a 197 feet private motoryacht
full 
     certificate according with Lloyds, MCA, USCG, VDO, BSH, Cayman
Island, DIN, ISO-
     and some 10 other rules authorites etc.. 
     It takes about 2-5 month before you get a drawing back with there 
     permissions - sometimes they said "Well this is a new item - build
a 
     prototype of this window design - please, two or three times and
full size and 
     test them with a destroy test.. it takes about 4 month to build
just 
     this prototype windows - for the money the test windows cost 
     - you can have your own Psub..  

     .. the joke is : In the Lloyds contract with the yard (for example)
is a clear 
     notice : That they are just certificate the vesssel to there
standards - but that 
     they are not responsible for anything..
