Identify
Locate project-specific records from owners, authorities, procurement systems, financiers, contractors, and operators. Search hits and generic capability pages remain leads.
Methodology
How IMWO separates project facts, package scope, and delivery evidence.
Marine works move through concept, approval, procurement, award, mobilisation, construction, acceptance, and operation. Most public sources describe only one part of that chain. IMWO ties each claim to a dated source, an exact asset or contract package, a named party role, and the latest stage the evidence actually supports.
Current public example
The featured analysis demonstrates the difference between completed physical work, formal acceptance, operating performance, unresolved interfaces, and conclusions that the available evidence does not support.
Read featured analysis Open source register Review governanceScope and limitations
This methodology explains how to read IMWO research. It is not engineering design, certification, a safety audit, legal or procurement advice, or independent assurance. Every record is time-specific. Readers should review the linked sources and confirm current facts with the responsible authority or contracting party before relying on them.

Verify
Confirm the exact asset or package, source date, and party role. Several pages from one issuer do not provide independent corroboration, and a listing does not establish delivery.
Classify
Place each claim at its evidenced stage and preserve source-reported amounts, quantities, currencies, units, and commercial roles without carrying them into another package.
Track
Update a record only when dated evidence changes scope, parties, timing, or delivery state. An expected date does not become an achieved milestone.
Evidence chain
A project record is only useful when the asset, commercial package, party role, delivery state, and remaining unknowns are kept distinct.
Separate the wider programme, physical asset, procurement process, signed contract, work package, and later modification.
Distinguish owner, developer, lender, designer, engineer, prime contractor, joint-venture member, supplier, and named lower tier.
Keep planning, approval, tender, award, contract, mobilisation, execution, acceptance, and operation as separate dated events.
State the supported value, quantity, scope, and milestone, then identify any undisclosed workshare, plant, lower tier, completion, or performance evidence.
Discovery grouping boundary
The discovery index keeps official leads broad while making project-family grouping deliberately conservative.
World Bank, ADB, IDB, AfDB, AIIB, EIB and EBRD families never merge across institutions.
Project records group by exact official project ID; World Bank and IDB packages link only through exact parent IDs.
Otherwise-unlinked ADB awards group only on exact official project name plus country. Ambiguous names remain unresolved.
No fuzzy entity merge is published. Project, notice, award, supplier, mobilisation and delivery evidence remain distinct.
Source confidence
Confirmed
directly supported by primary or official documentation that identifies the project and claim
Reported
attributed to a credible secondary or market source without direct primary evidence supporting the claim
Watching
an early lead retained for monitoring; it should not be read as an established project fact
Source map
Authorities and procurement
Tender and award notices, contract registers, authority releases, procurement plans, and public project records.
Planning, finance and regulation
Environmental filings, permits, lender documents, planning decisions, concession records, and development approvals.
Project participants
Attributed owner, operator, consultant, contractor, supplier, investor, and financing disclosures tied to identifiable marine scope.
Independent reporting
Dated trade, financial, local, and specialist reporting used with clear attribution and checked against available primary records.
Questions about coverage and evidence
The FAQ defines IMWO's port, dredging, coastal, marine water, and wastewater scope, and explains why a tracked study or tender does not by itself establish an award or construction start.
