Roman Wroath: What Technical Diligence Should Find Before a Maritime Acquisition
A Roman Wroath field note on technical diligence, yacht builder acquisitions, distressed maritime assets and operational restart risk.
A maritime acquisition can look attractive while hiding unresolved technical and operational exposure. Customer deposits, unfinished builds, supplier gaps, design maturity and warranty liabilities all move the real price.
Technical diligence should identify what is recoverable, what is underfunded, what is dependent on specific people, and what promises have already outrun the operating system.
The purpose is not to make a deal more complicated. It is to make the first ninety days more honest.
