What owners and contractors should watch
Naval infrastructure is built around an operating dockyard.
Marine works depend on fisheries timing windows and environmental approvals, jetty and utility outages must be coordinated with fleet schedules, and only a small number of contractors can deliver specialised marine work.
Sequence shutdowns early, carry float for marine permits, and lock in marine contractors before the next large naval package goes to market.
