D.	Hull design and powering;
E.	Deck and equipment arrangement;
F.	Accommodation arrangements;
G.	Wheelhouse layout;
H.	Machinery arrangements;
I.	Displacement calculations;
J.	Lightship weight estimates;
K.	Stability calculations;
L.	Review;
M.	Resistance, power, sea keeping, environmental noise and maneuvering modelling;
N.	Development of full technical specification for design and build tender;
O.	Regulatory and Class assessment and check;
P.	Estimate of build costs;
Q.	Preparation of plans, drawings and documents for design and build tender;
R.	Assist with the evaluation of build bids, including yard visits;
