How we work

From first call to final report

  1. Scope

    We discuss the vessel, the flag or class involved and your deadline, then confirm scope and fees in writing.

  2. Review

    We go through certificates, manuals and records before attending, so time on board is used well.

  3. Attend

    Our surveyor or auditor attends the vessel or office and works with the master and crew.

  4. Report

    You receive a clear written report with findings, photos and recommended actions, and we stay on hand for follow-up.

Our Team

Led by a Master Mariner

Our people have commanded ships, piloted them through tidal approaches and audited them for flag states. That experience shapes every report we write.
