Port Captaincy services
Port Captaincy services provide comprehensive support and management for vessels during their port calls, ensuring smooth, safe, and efficient operations to reduce costs and avoid delays. A Port Captain acts as the main liaison between the ship, the port authorities, service providers, and the shipowner or operator, overseeing all aspects of the vessel’s port stay.
Key Services Include:
- Operational Coordination: Planning and supervising of the port operations such as cargo handling, bunkering, and repairs.
- Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to local and international maritime regulations, including customs, immigration, and port authority requirements.
- Communication & Reporting: Acting as the primary contact for shipowners, charterers, and agents, and providing timely reports on vessel activities and status.
- Safety & Emergency Assistance: Advising on safety measures, responding to emergencies, and coordinating with relevant authorities.
Marine surveys
As a Marine Surveyor, I provide expert inspection, assessment, and advisory support for ships, cargo, and maritime equipment. I ensure compliance with international regulations, industry standards, and contractual requirements, helping shipowners, operators, insurers, and charterers make informed decisions.
Key Services Include:
- Vessel Inspection & Condition Surveys: Assessing the structural integrity, machinery, and equipment of ships to determine their condition and seaworthiness.
- Cargo Surveys: Checking the quantity, quality, and condition of cargo during loading, transit, and discharge to prevent loss or damage.
- Damage & Incident Investigation: Inspecting ships or cargo after accidents or incidents and providing detailed reports for insurance or legal purposes.
- Suitability inspections: Ensuring vessels meet international safety, environmental, and classification society standards for dedicated projects and clients.
- Valuation & Pre-Purchase Surveys: Evaluating vessels for sale, purchase, or insurance purposes, providing accurate market and technical assessments.
On- and offhire surveys
Our On- and Off-Hire Survey services ensure a smooth and transparent charter process. We inspect vessels at the start and end of a charter to accurately document their condition, equipment, and compliance with contractual requirements. This helps prevent disputes, protects the interests of both owners and charterers, and ensures the vessel is ready for operation.
On- and offhire surveys include:
- Thorough inspection of the vessel’s condition and equipment
- Verification of compliance with contractual and operational standards
- Detailed, independent reports for clarity and transparency
