Beyond ship recycling, we provide broad-based maritime consultancy to shipowners, managers, recycling facilities, cash buyers, ports, financiers and regulators — combining regulatory knowledge with practical, on-the-ground technical experience.
Our work is grounded in the same principle throughout: advice that can be evidenced, documented and defended in front of a regulator, a class surveyor or a client’s own auditor.

How We Work
Assess — we establish the actual position, on site and in the documentation, not the assumed one. Advise — we set out the requirement, the options and the practical consequence of each. Implement — we stay through delivery, because a report on a shelf changes nothing. Verify — we confirm the outcome in writing, in a form that stands up to external scrutiny.
Why Work With Us
- Direct working knowledge of both international regulation and local operating reality
- Independent, evidence-based reporting with no conflict of interest
- Practical familiarity with yards, vessels and authorities — not theory alone
- Documentation designed from the outset to withstand third-party audit
