The safe functionality and continued seaworthiness of vessels are predominant to shipowners and operators. From vessel upgrades and conversions to new building projects, it is vital to ensure the ships are well-engineered and in full compliance with relevant regulations for safety and environmental protection.

Shipping is probably the oldest global industry and depends upon a global regulatory framework to operate efficiently. As such, the industry has a well-developed international, regional, and national regulatory environment.

Even with the compliance of all laws and safety regulations, there are instances where we cannot control natural or man-made occurrences that might lead to the cargo disruption, vessel damage, oil spill or even ship wreck.
