Relevant, up-to-date expertise

We’re not about reflecting on good times gone by. Our team of active maritime professionals understand today’s and tomorrow’s maritime industry.

A team for every challenge

Our network of consultants spans cruise, ferries, superyachts, oil
& gas, safety management, regulatory bodies and maritime education.

A flexible, friendly approach

Seeking outside support can be intimidating. No matter what you’re facing, we’d love to chat things through and see if we can help, without obligation.

Service to write home about

Our clients receive a level of attention and responsiveness that larger consultancies can’t match and work with a single point of contact throughout their project.
