How EquIP works

A research tool, not a marketplace.

Technical and procurement teams use EquIP to move from a broad category to a short, defensible list of makers — with the evidence attached.

01

Search & compare

Filter makers by category, vessel type, approval and region, then compare side by side.

02

Verify evidence

Check class and MED approvals, documentation status and confirmed reference projects.

03

Shortlist & request

Save makers to a shortlist and send a structured contact request when you are ready.

Featured makers

A different selection every day.

Placement is never for sale, so the window rotates. Sign in to search the full directory.
