5. Pre-purchase Inspection
Shipowners need an unbiased third-party assessment
of the marine asset they intend to purchase especially
when funds are secured through Banks and NBFC’s.
Pre-purchase inspection
Our in-depth inspections of
such vessels cover:
• Complete status and
assessment of vessels
history, trading,
certification, inventory, hull
and machinery condition
• Independent estimate /
Market Valuation
• Suitability for the intended
type of service
• Cost versus value
considering ROI, Reliability
and Safety

6. Flag / Class Change
This activity involves an advanced understanding of
international statutory rules and needs dedicated focus
to ensure it is completed in a timely manner.
Flag / Class Change
These services include:
• Obtaining the essential
certificates for change of
ownership under the new
flag including:
• Registry
• Radio Station License
• Tonnage Certificate
• Safe Manning
• Change in Class is a
cumbersome procedure for
the Owner and must
include the ability to source
the necessary protocols
and drawings from the
preceding Class or Yard

7. Vetting Inspection and its preparedness for any vessel
and its manager is a daunting task. Getting the crucial
and key items checked and rectified is essential to
obtaining a successful result.
Vetting Inspection
Pre-vetting preparedness for
SIRE / CDI or other TP
Inspections involves:
• Thorough inspection of the
vessel as per VIQ and other
checklists
• Assistance in rectification
of likely deficiencies or
observations
• Training & guidance to Ship
/ Shore staff on soft skills
to ensure a positive
inspection
• Own availability as
Managers or Owners
Representative

8. In an ever changing environment of rules, regulations
and technology Maritime Training is an essential tool
to keep the management of the vessel ahead of the
curve.
Maritime Training
An experienced faculty
delivers training in a flexible
way aligned to the needs of
the vessel managers:
• Onboard Training based on
company policies, best
practice and latest
regulations
• Development of e-learning
modules customized to
vessel type, cargo, trading
area and flag

9. Safety & Security Audits when carried out by external
auditors deliver more value than in-house audits which
is evidenced by the growing need for self assessment of
a vessel’s operational excellence.
Safety Audit
Best practices by IMO (ISM),
OCIMF (TMSA), ICS/ISF,
Intercargo, P&I clubs and
other industry stake-holders
produce detailed guidelines
which include:
• Review of the Ship Safety
and Security Management
System
• Onboard implementation
and compliance of Policies
and Procedures
• Implementation and
training in e-systems
• Feedback to managers

10. The OCIMF Tanker Management Self Assessment
(TMSA) recommend Navigation Audits that aim to
establish and consistently apply navigational practices,
bridge procedures and deck-officer training in line with
regulatory frameworks and company policies.
Navigation Audit
The Navigational Audits are
conducted during a sailing
voyage and allow the auditor
to observe the conduct of the
vessel navigational practices
up close and in real-time to
deliver a:
• Navigational Report
consisting of an exhaustive
checklist and executive
summary
• Confidential Report which

urgent attention to the

management style.

design, construction and delivery of New Building
