Remote Navigation Audit

Audit the bridge — without sending anyone aboard.

A senior auditor with command experience reviews a recent voyage from one of your vessels, in detail. The deliverable looks and reads like an on-board audit report — bridge-team competency, watchkeeping, chart work, communications, alarms, fatigue indicators — but you've saved the auditor's flight, the port-agent fees, and the bridge-team's day.

• A full report, in your format or ours.
• Each observation linked to the exact moment it happened, so the master can review it himself.
• Aligned with the inspection framework your office runs against — internal nav-audit, vetting prep, ISM internal, owner's standing instructions.
• Confidential. Findings stay with you.

Incident Investigation

When something has gone wrong — a defensible reconstruction.

A grounding, a collision, a near-miss, a serious-injury incident on the bridge. The recording on your vessel has the answer; turning that into a narrative that holds up to an insurer, your P&I club and your Class society is a different skill. Our team has done it dozens of times.

• Bridge audio transcribed and attributed to speakers, where audible.
• Every claim in the report linked back to the moment in the recording.
• Human-factors review — fatigue, decision-making, communication, situational awareness.
• Strict chain of custody. Defensible if your case escalates.
• Independent of your insurer, your manager, your charterer.

Pre-Vetting Readiness

Walk into a vetting inspection already knowing what they'll find.

Whatever inspection regime is coming — tanker vetting, dry-cargo vetting, chemical vetting, Class periodic, Flag annual — your inspector boards with a specific scope and a specific list. We rehearse it with your team first, walk the vessel through the likely questions, and tell you exactly where the inspector is most likely to score points off you.

• Inspection-questionnaire walk-through with your master and senior officers.
• Crew interview rehearsal — Master, Chief Officer, 2/O, 3/O, Chief Engineer.
• Hardware and document checks against the latest revision of the questionnaire.
• An honest gap list — what's likely to be found, and what to close before the visit.

Port State Control Preparation

Brief your master for the port — before he berths.

Each regional MoU has its own targeting model, its own current Concentrated Inspection Campaign, its own historical detention triggers. We brief your master and Chief Officer on what to expect at their next port, what the regional inspectors are currently focused on, and where most detainable findings tend to land.

• Port-by-port pre-arrival briefing — typically delivered 48 hours before berthing.
• Aligned to the current regional MoU campaign focus.
• Document and certificate dossier sanity-check.
• Common detainable items reviewed — rest hours, watch alarms, chart currency, garbage logs, lifesaving gear.

Voyage & Berthing Reviews

An expert eye on every passage — without micromanaging the master.

We review your fleet's high-risk passages — pilotage, strait transits, canal passages, berthing approaches — on a rolling basis. The deliverable is light-touch: a friendly note to the bridge team where it's useful, a heads-up to the office when something needs a closer look.

• Strait and canal transits — Malacca, Hormuz, Bosphorus, Bab-el-Mandeb, Suez approaches.
• Berthing approaches and pilot exchanges.
• Speed, drift, set-and-rate against passage plan.
• Monthly fleet-wide trend report for the office.

Internal & ISM Audits

An independent pair of eyes on the audits you already run.

Your annual ISM internal audit cycle is mandatory. Running it well — without it feeling like a tick-box — is hard when your own superintendents have to grade their own colleagues. We sit alongside as an independent auditor, using the same checklist your DOC requires, with the evidence trail your DPA needs.

• Annual ISM internal audit, conducted independently.
• Audits across your fleet to a single standard, written by the same hand.
• Each finding evidenced and accessible to your DPA in one place.
• Closing-meeting summary for the master, in the master's language.

Officer Assessment

An honest read on the people running your bridge.

Pre-joining or in-service evaluation of senior officers, conducted remotely. The assessment looks at decision-making style, calm under stress, communication, fatigue tolerance, leadership of mixed teams. The output is a confidential brief for the office — not a public score for the officer.

• Designed for senior ranks — Master, Chief Officer, 2/O. Adaptable for Chief Engineer if requested.
• Remote, neutral, structured — interview plus standardised instruments.
• Delivered confidentially to a named recipient in your office.

Targeted Crew Training

Crew training built from your own audit findings.

Statutory training is generic by definition. The training that actually closes a finding has to be specific to the finding. We build short, focused modules from your fleet's own audit data and deliver them to the right ranks on the right vessels. Sits next to — not instead of — your existing CBT library.

• Case-led, rank-specific modules.
• Anonymised real bridge situations, debriefed by mariners.
• Completion records flow back to your office.
