We provide independent marine services across the global shipping industry, supporting vessel owners, operators, charterers, and insurers throughout the operational lifecycle. Our work spans condition assessment, risk prevention, cargo integrity, warranty approvals, and incident response, helping clients operate safely, efficiently, and with confidence.
We support the shipping industry with independent technical expertise across vessel operations, cargo movements, and marine risk.
Our team of Master Mariners, Naval Architects, and Marine Engineers works across a wide range of vessel types and operations, including cargo ships, tankers, bulk carriers, offshore units, and specialised tonnage. We are involved in both routine operations and complex cases where technical judgement and independent assessment are critical.
We combine technical inspection, operational experience, and risk understanding to support decision-making across shipping activities.
We assess vessel condition and operational readiness. When incidents occur, we investigate causes, document damage, and support claims with clear technical findings. For cargo, we focus on reducing loss exposure through independent surveying, loss prevention guidance, and data-led insight that supports better decisions.
Surveys conducted to estimate the extent of damage and cost of repairs or loss resulting from an accident. Survey Association can also recommend the necessary repairs and be commissioned to supervise these repairs.
Detailed investigations to identify the underlying causes of incidents or failures and support corrective action and claims resolution.
Independent technical opinions and evidence for disputes, arbitration, and legal proceedings in marine-related cases.
Comprehensive assessments of vessel or asset condition to support operational, technical, or insurance-related decisions.
Evaluations of shipyard and port facility operations, management systems, and capabilities against industry and project requirements.
Independent inspections documenting vessel condition and equipment status at the start or end of charter periods.
Technical review and approval of planned voyages and towage operations to ensure compliance with safety standards and operational requirements.
Case-specific approval of individual towage operations based on technical review of vessel condition, route, and operational risk.
Independent assessment of cargo damage, loss, or discrepancies to support claims handling and resolution.
Practical guidance to help reduce cargo damage, operational risk, and recurring claims exposure.
Analysis of claims data to identify trends, improve risk understanding, and support better operational decisions.
Practical training on cargo handling, claims prevention, and marine risk awareness to improve operational competence and reduce losses.
Our digital platform for managing cargo claims, surveys, and reporting through a centralised and structured workflow.
Immediate support during marine incidents, coordinating surveys, contractors, and technical resources to stabilise situations and manage response activities efficiently and independently.
Independent damage surveys and investigations supporting Hull & Machinery and Protection & Indemnity claims, providing clear technical findings on cause, extent of damage, and liability considerations.
