We develop and implement comprehensive audit and verification programs that contribute to organizational improvement and prevent problems during certification audits and Coast Guard inspections.

Our approach to audit programs is based on the recognition that just checking on implementation of requirements misses the opportunity for a more qualitative review of suitability and effectiveness of documented procedures. In other words, our audit programs add value by recommending improvements that make compliance more achievable and lasting for front line personnel.

Our auditors are experts in the field and receive training from organizations approved by classification societies, registrars, and the International Registrar of Certification Auditors (IRCA). Drawing from years of maritime industry experience, our auditors strive to engage with your employees and provide management with reasonable and objective reports.

As with our management system services, our audit programs may be structured to address any type and scope of management system, fleet or facilities.

We build management systems that incorporate your routines and existing practices to the maximum extent possible. Our development is efficient and preserves what is important to your business by tailoring management systems to the specific risks and needs of your operations.

Our central goal is to develop codified requirements that are practicable for your organization and that support operational continuity despite employee turnover and changes to leadership.

In a world where customers and regulators alike demand safe and environmentally sound operations, we help you to identify, assess and mitigate the risks specific to your organization in the areas of safety, environmental, quality, and security concerns.

Since our consultants are industry professionals, we understand that for solutions to be effective they must be achievable at all levels of the organization. Like you, we believe in pragmatic solutions that are easily understood and that may be implemented at both the executive and deck-plate level.

Our regulatory advisement services are the foundation of everything that we do. We monitor regulatory developments in ample time to keep you informed and to provide you with compliance options that make the most sense for your business.

Our services are available for individual requirements or as an ongoing support package to help you stay ahead of new regulations.

Our team of experienced mariners and maritime professionals provides thorough incident investigation services that identify root causes and contributing factors. We follow industry-standard methodologies and best practices to support operators in making informed decisions that enhance safety, compliance, and operational performance. Our investigators are trained and qualified to conduct effective investigations across a wide range of maritime incidents.
