In order to verify or determine the claimed condition of a vessel, a thorough and independent comprehensive report is necessary. It is important the necessary level of insight and expertise is employed to undertake this for obvious reasons.
After an incidence of fire, flooding, grounding or collision, any damage and secondary causes and effects must be identified so that reoccurence is eliminated, and any further repurcussions avoided. Additionally advice on repairs, risk mitigation and operational aspects can be provided.
You may wish to document the state and inventory of a vessel and carry out a thorough safety inspection. This could be after a period of layup, or prior to engaging on a voyage, or perhaps, you simply identify any maintenance needs.
To meet the requirements for most insurers, as survey is required to ensure that a vessel meets a minimum standard to mitigate and reduce risk.
If you require some one to liaise with a boatyard or contractor in an advisory role for a single item or entire project, you can benefit from having an experienced marine engineer to assist with creating job specs, obtaining quotations and reinforcing contractual terms to ensure any works are carried out as you intend with safe and satisfactory results.
An extensive range of engineering works can be undertaken including supply of OEM parts at competitive prices. Overhauls, repairs, maintenance and inspections on pumps, motors, compressors and electrical distribution.
Principal Marine Engineer
For the past 10 years I have been employed in senior officer roles serving onboard various types of vessels varying from container ships to private yachts. This has provided extensive engineering experience within marine, electrical and propulsion fields as well as ship management skills. I can provide solutions and guidance for a range of issues from hull repairs, steelwork, pressure vessels, maintenance plans and larger projects in accordance with IACS guidance.
