Five Areas of Independent Review
Comprehensive risk and suitability assessment of marine vessels — focused on operational suitability and project execution risk rather than paperwork alone.
Project Cargo Suitability Reviews
Assessment of vessel suitability for transporting project cargoes, heavy lifts, breakbulk equipment and oversized loads.
- Deck strength suitability
- Cargo space evaluation
- Hatch access reviews
- Crane capability assessment
- Seafastening considerations
- Port interface constraints
Heavy Lift Capability Evaluation
Independent review of heavy lift vessels and cargo handling arrangements to determine operational suitability for planned lifting operations.
- Crane arrangements
- Lifting limitations
- Operational constraints
- Deck layout
- Stowage suitability
- Loading / discharge considerations
Operational Risk Assessment
Identification of operational hazards and potential project execution risks related to vessel operations and cargo handling activities.
- Cargo operations
- Crew practices
- Port interface arrangements
- Method statement compliance
- Safety observations
- Risk mitigation measures
Marine Assurance Inspections
Independent attendance during loading, discharge and transportation operations to verify compliance with agreed procedures and identify potential risks.
- Port Captain attendance
- Loading supervision
- Discharge oversight
- Cargo securing verification
- Heavy lift monitoring
- Site representation
Documentation & Certification Reviews
Review of vessel documentation and certification status to identify risks, limitations and potential compliance concerns.
- Class status review
- Certification review
- PSC history review
- Maintenance records review
- Dry dock history review
