Our services connect vessel condition, operational practice, management systems and recorded data to provide practical insight for safer operations and better management decisions.
MARITIME EXPERIENCE IN NUMBERS
Our Maritime Assurance Services
Pre Purchase and Pre Sale Inspections
Independent technical inspections providing a clear assessment of vessel condition before acquisition. We examine structure, machinery, equipment, documentation and maintenance records to support informed purchase decisions and identify potential operational and financial exposure.
Condition and Asset Surveys
Detailed surveys covering vessel condition, maintenance standards, statutory readiness and operational performance. Our findings help owners, financiers and charterers understand asset integrity, management effectiveness and areas requiring corrective attention.
Charterer and Bunker Surveys
Pre hire, off hire, delivery, redelivery and bunker surveys tailored to charterer requirements. We provide independent documentation of vessel condition, fuel quantities and relevant technical or commercial matters at critical stages of the charter.
PSC, Vetting and RightShip Readiness
Practical vessel preparation for Port State Control, vetting and RightShip inspections. We review vessel condition, documentation, crew readiness and management system implementation, then provide prioritised findings and clear recommendations for corrective action.
SMS Simplification
We transform complex Safety Management System procedures into practical instructions that crews can understand and apply. The objective is stronger compliance, improved onboard implementation and reduced administrative burden without weakening operational controls.
Maritime Audits and Compliance
Independent ISM, ISPS and MLC audits supported by practical operational experience. We evaluate management systems, vessel practices, documentation and crew awareness to identify compliance gaps and opportunities for sustainable improvement.
SMS Gap Analysis
Structured review of the Safety Management System against SIRE 2.0, TMSA and applicable regulatory expectations. We identify gaps, duplication and implementation weaknesses, then provide practical recommendations aligned with company operations.
VDR Analytics
IKIGAI SENTINEL converts voyage data into practical operational insight. Our analysis examines navigation, bridge team performance, communication, decision making and procedural compliance to support learning, risk reduction and fleet level improvement.
Mooring Studies
IKIMOOR provides Optimoor based analysis for LNG, LPG, oil, chemical and bulk vessels. We assess mooring line loads, vessel movement, fender performance and environmental conditions to support safe and reliable berthing operations.
