Compliance verified. Performance protected. Crew prepared. Pre-vetting inspections, hire surveys, navigation audits.

What is included in this service:

Our marine surveys, audits, and training service gives shipowners, operators, and charterers the professional assessments and crew development programmes they need to stay compliant, competitive, and inspection-ready. We conduct pre-vetting inspections aligned to OCIMF SIRE 2.0 and CDI checklists, identifying deficiencies and recommending corrective actions before the formal inspection takes place. Our navigation audits assess bridge procedures, ECDIS operations, passage planning, and watchkeeping standards against current regulatory requirements. For charter parties, we provide independent on hire and off hire surveys that document vessel condition with precision and impartiality.

We also deliver structured onboard training programmes covering navigation, MARPOL, ISM, and STCW — designed around your fleet's live operational gaps.
