Our maritime experts, DP specialists, and experienced engineers bring real‑ship experience and unbiased, practical solutions you can implement immediately—improving safety, reliability, and day‑to‑day performance across both conventional and offshore fleets.
Professionalism, Safety & Compliance
We design, test, and audit processes that keep crews and assets safe—covering DP assurance, navigational audits, and ISM/ISPS/MLC conformity. Every project is delivered under our RINA ISO 9001‑certified Quality Management System, ensuring clear standards, measured competence, and verifiable results.
Rapid Mobilization & Lower Total Cost
Time matters at sea. We mobilize quickly across Europe, Asia, and North America, issue concise reports with prioritized actions, and support implementation. The outcome: reduced off‑hire risk, smoother vetting and inspections (PSC / SIRE / OVID / CMID), and a lower total cost of compliance.
