It is with great satisfaction that I write this letter to express my gratitude for the invaluable consultancy services provided by Mr. Fatih Dalkıran during the construction of my yachts. From the earliest stages of design to the final delivery, his expertise in design, engineering, and production has been a cornerstone of our projects’ success.

Mr. Dalkıran’s ability to seamlessly combine technical precision with creative solutions has been truly impressive. Whether negotiating contracts, coordinating with shipyards, or overseeing day-to-day progress, he consistently demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Thanks to his guidance, every phase of my yacht projects has been smooth and efficient, exceeding my expectations in both quality and timelines.

Having worked with him on yachts built at prestigious shipyards in Turkey and Italy, I can attest to his adaptability and deep understanding of the industry’s standards. His contributions have not only ensured the completion of my yachts to the highest quality but also significantly enhanced their value. Currently, we are collaborating on two new projects, and his proactive approach continues to inspire confidence.

For anyone seeking a consultant who combines profound technical knowledge with a client-centric approach, I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Fatih Dalkıran. He is a true professional who delivers exceptional results.

We met with Mr.Fatih Dalkıran by receiving consultancy services in the 35 meter MY SEASTAR project, which was completed in Mengiyay Shipyard. Mr. Dalkiran has been with us in every step from the signature stage to the launching of the project, with its extensive experience in the sector, creative perspective, solution-oriented cooperation and always being accessible.

For all these reasons, even after our boat launched, we agreed on the entire management service of boat and our work continues actively. We hope that our long-term cooperation with him will continue with his professional skills and his characteristics.

We recommend to work with Mr.Dalkiran to everyone who will receive consultancy services in the sector

I have known Mr. Dalkiran since 2008, we have met during the build of our 112’ Semi Custom Motor Yacht.

Mr. Dalkiran was the project manager, who did an excellent job with his excellent team. I recommend working with Mr. Dalkiran whoever is looking for a great project manager. Even after more than 10 years of the delivery of the boat Mr. Dalkiran made himself available for any question and any technical support, I believe this is something you cannot get from an ordinary project manager in this industry.

I began collaborating with Mr. Fatih Dalkiran and his team a few years ago when I enlisted his supervision for the construction of two 47-meter yachts in Mengiyay, designed for one of our clients. This decision proved to be a wise one, and now, following the launch of the first yacht, I truly appreciate the extent of Fatih’s contribution to the success of this new build.

As an internationally renowned design house, Nuvolari Lenard places great importance on the shipyard’s understanding of our designs and our vision, particularly concerning details, finishes, and quality. Achieving this can sometimes be challenging. However, Fatih Dalkiran excelled in fostering communication among all parties involved in the project—from shipyard management to the last worker—thereby ensuring their complete attention to our project and the quality we expected. This significantly alleviated our workload and stress.

Consequently, we have decided that moving forward, all yachts we construct in Türkiye—and possibly in other countries if he has sufficient time—will be supervised and managed by Mr. Dalkiran and his team

MENGI YAY YACHTS

I had the chance and the privilege of working with Mr. Fatih DAKIRAN, as the owner consultant, during the construction of Mengi Yay Yachts’ NB 97 project, 35.5 meters wooden hull/composite superstructure.

Mr. Dakıran is a very well educated, talented and experienced naval engineer. With his knowledge and the vision, he made lots of contributions to realize such a distinguished project. Not only he consulted the owner and he also gave us technical support and ideas during the construction of the Project.

Besides his qualifications as an engineer, he is a very honest, respectful and straightforward person whom you prefer to work with.

BSC SHIPBUILDING, FORMER OPERATIONS MANAGER OF VITTERS SHIPYARD, WAJER YACHTS AND ROYAL HUISMAN

In 2005 I was leading a hybrid team of young Dutch and Turkish engineers who were dedicated to build two general cargo ships in Tuzla Istanbul. We established a company, rented a location, build an assembly yard and started collaborating with local partners to commit the engineering, purchase, logistics and construction of the ships. To start with nothing and finish 2 years later with the delivery of the second vessel to the Dutch shipyard would not have been possible without this enthusiastic team of young people who were in their early working days. In this team Fatih Dalkiran was responsible for Process and Quality and I still am impressed of his performance and dedication to his tasks. He was always able to keep his eye on the ball, even in times when stress levels were rising high. I have learned to know Fatih as a reliable, intelligent and highly talented shipbuilder and projectmanager, and an honest en empathic person. After completion of the two cargo vessels Fatih took on the projectmanagement tasks in Dutch owned Cyrus Shipyard and the rest now is history.

I am pesonally very proud and impressed to see how Fatih has developped his business and I can truly testify that Fatih Dalkiran is a thrustworthy, reliable, dedicated, empathic and a very experienced Project Manager.

Apart from his obvious qualifications as marine engineer anbd skills as project manager, Mr Dalkiran was able to demonstrate transparent and direct attitude towards all parties, constructive approach against all challenges and dedication to delivering a product of high safety and quality standards – that way, in my view, achieving the best possible result to his employer’s interest.

Needless to say that I consider Mr Dalkiran as an ideal yacht project manager.

I first met with Mr. Dalkiran in 2008 through the construction of a Cyrus Yacht 112’ in Antalya, where he was assigned as project manager.

Throughout the project I find out that Mr. Dalkiran is an honest and straightforward person which made the construction process very successful. Everything was finished on time and quality was high. No bad surprise, everything in budget and everything better than in the original specs.

I can only recommend Mr. Dalkiran to anyone who is looking for a qualified engineer and surveyor. Without any doubts he will do is best on any assigned projects he takes on!

 

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), the United Nations Migration Agency, had contracted Mr Fatih DALKIRAN on consultancy basis back in August 2016 as a Boats Construction Engineer in relation to the IOM project of building six Search and Rescue boats (DAMEN SAR 1906) for the benefit of the Turkish Government to contribute to the ongoing efforts in addressing the migration and refugee crisis through supporting search and rescue operations at the sea side in order to save lives and further strengthen the protection of the migrants and refugees at the Turkish’s maritime jurisdiction at which the vast majority of the migrants and refugees are choosing to reach EU through transiting via the water of Turkey as this routing is considered shorter and less expensive, as a result, a significant number of migrants have lost their lives throughout the past years on that Eastern Mediterranean route.

The said project of building these specific boats was successfully concluded back in December 2017, and without the efforts of Mr DALKIRAN, this would not be the case. Fatih’s active participation, high skills, extensive technical knowledge and background, enabled him and in conclusion IOM, to carry out this project in smooth and timely manner. It is important to also add that his transparency, exemplary performance, always taking the initiative to make things better, and the dedication to his work, contributed significantly to the successful achievement of this project.

IOM will always be grateful to the services that Mr DALKIRAN has rendered during his period of service for the Organization.

This letter has been issued based on the request of Mr Fatih DALKIRAN.
