To minimize risk, shipowners should produce an assessment for each ship under their management. A fleet assessment will provide owners and evaluation of the investment value of a retrofit while keeping costs to a minimum and ensuring compliance for their ships. A Choice retrofit assessment includes:

• Ship analysis: operating costs; condition; age
• Reviews of Classification Society records
• Charter contract or shipping route evaluations
• Hazardous space or other shipboard limitations
• CAPEX cost estimates
• Examination of OPEX of BWMS maintenance and estimated repair schedule
• Project outline
