Our methodology

How we approach every engagement

A consistent four-pillar method — independent of vessel type or fleet size — that produces evidence-based, defensible outputs.

Share section
Evidence-based

Every finding is supported by records, photographs, interviews, and measurable data — not opinion.

Risk-prioritised

Observations are scored by operational, regulatory, and commercial risk so action plans focus on what matters.

Closeable actions

Recommendations are SMART, with proposed owners and target dates that fit your existing SMS workflow.

Stakeholder-ready

Reports are written for class, flag, charterers, underwriters, and tribunals — not just internal use.

Frequently asked

Common questions about this package

Share section
How quickly can you mobilise?

For routine engagements we propose within 2 business days. For casualty, claims, and pre-purchase attendance we mobilise a qualified surveyor within 24–48 hours, worldwide.

Do you work on retainer or fixed-fee?

Both. We deliver fixed-scope projects against an agreed deliverable list, or ongoing monthly / quarterly retainers for continuous support.

Who delivers the work?

Senior practitioners only — master mariners, chief engineers, former DPAs, class surveyors, and accredited auditors. No junior staff are assigned without an experienced lead.

Are findings shared with class or flag?

Our reports are confidential to the instructing party. We never share findings with class, flag, or third parties without your written instruction.
