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.
We Offer A Wide Range Of Consultancy Services, Such As (But Not Limited To):
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.
Lubrication Is One Of The Main Methods In Protecting Machinery. Maintenance And Machinery Lubricating Strategies, Lubricating Basics Including The Understanding Of Technical Data Sheets That Are Essential. Causes Of Oil Contamination And How To Control Them, Oil Analysis Report Understanding. Train Maintenance Engineers On Best Practices (Color Coding, Sampling Intervals, Etc.)
