Consultancy Services

We offer an extensive range of consultancy services providing strategic guidance, technical expertise, and professional representation across marine and non-marine sectors worldwide. Our consultancy division delivers specialized advisory services spanning marine operational consultancy, marine engineering and technical consultancy, naval architecture services, oil and gas sector specialized consulting, lubrication management programs, and comprehensive vessel representation. Our qualified naval architect engineers and experienced marine consultants possess the technical knowledge, practical field experience, and professional qualifications necessary to address complex challenges facing vessel owners, ship operators, offshore operators, oil and gas companies, marine financiers, and maritime stakeholders requiring authoritative technical guidance and expert strategic advice.

Our marine consultancy services encompass ship condition assessment consultation, pre-purchase advisory supporting informed acquisition decisions, pre-repair inspection guidance ensuring appropriate scope definition, re-vetting inspection consultation preparing vessels for charterer acceptance, new building supervision for all vessel types including cargo vessels, oil tankers, passenger vessels, barges, landing crafts, and pilot boats, preparation for charterer and third-party inspections, maintenance and upkeep optimization recommendations, management consultation addressing operational challenges, marine casualty and dispute consultation providing expert technical opinions, salvage and towage consultancy, pollution solutions guidance, pollution damage claims consultation, engineering studies for marine operations, vessel running cost optimization analysis, preparation of comprehensive vessel plans, ISM and ISPS and ISO audit consultation, navigational audit support, safety inspection consultation, towage approval consultation, on-hire and off-hire bunker survey consultation, and specialized hazardous materials spill recovery consultation.

Our marine engineering and technical consultancy services are delivered by qualified naval architect engineers who provide comprehensive support addressing vessel design, structural analysis, stability assessment, and technical evaluation challenges. At present our naval architect team is growing and offers services including basic and initial design development, conceptual design studies, damage stability computations and probabilistic damage stability analysis, detailed workshop design drawings, loading calculations and manual preparation, stability booklet development satisfying International Maritime Organization and MARPOL statutory stability criteria, scantling computations, structural analysis, steel renewal computations, cargo lashing and sea fastening calculations, tank calibration services, tonnage and free-board calculations, vessel conversion design modifications, vessel hull modeling, motion response studies, environmental impact assessments, feasibility studies for economic activities, plan approval coordination with International Association of Classification Societies classification societies, offshore conversion projects and modifications to existing ships, ship modification with class approval coordination, and vibration diagnostic services supporting vessel optimization and performance enhancement.

Our oil and gas consultancy addresses the extensive environmental, health, and safety requirements of the petroleum sector through comprehensive audit programs designed to protect asset integrity through proper risk assessment and gap identification. We specialize in Condition-Based Maintenance Management Programs, a sophisticated maintenance strategy aimed at extending vessel and oil rig operational life, increasing productivity, and lowering daily operating costs. Unlike Periodic Maintenance where services are based upon arbitrary scheduled intervals, Condition-Based Maintenance Management Programs rely upon actual equipment condition data to dictate when and what maintenance is required, enabling more efficient resource allocation and enhanced reliability. Our lubrication consultancy services focus on protecting machinery through optimal lubricating strategies, technical data sheet interpretation, oil contamination control methodologies, oil analysis report understanding, and training maintenance engineers on industry best practices including color coding systems and appropriate sampling intervals.

1.3. Oil And Gas Consultant

The Oil & Gas Sector Has An Extensive Requirement Related To The Environment, Health & Safety And Thus, the Survey Is Prepared To Cover Audits On Various Subjects To Protect The Asset Integrity Through Proper Risk Assessment, To Identify Gaps That Needs Rectification.

CBMMP Is A Maintenance Strategy Aimed At Extending Vessel / Oil Rig Life, Increasing Productivity, And Lowering The Daily Operating Costs. Unlike Periodic Maintenance (PM) Where Services Are Based Upon Scheduled Intervals, CBMMP Relies Upon Actual Equipment Condition To Dictate When And What Maintenance Is Required.

Keeping Productive Assets Fit And In Proper Working Order Is Essential To Any Organization. Today, Most Maintenance Is Still Performed Either According To A Set Calendar Schedule Or According To The Most Ancient Procedure: "If It Breaks, Fix It." In This Modern, Data-Intensive Industrial Environment, We Can Do Much Better And Take Performance To The Next Level With CBMMP.

Developments In Recent Years Allowed Extensive Instrumentation Of Equipment Being Available. Thus, Better Tools For Analyzing Condition Data Are Now Available. Maintenance Personnel Of Today Are More Than Ever Able To Decide On The Right Time To Perform Maintenance. Ideally, Condition-Based Maintenance Would Guide Maintenance Engineers To Carry Out Only Required Repairs.
