Book Distributors

We've established relationships with all of the major publishers of marine technical books to compile a complete inventory for commercial maritime interests.

Marine Surveyors

As marine surveyors, we inspect, survey or otherwise examine marine vessels and equipment to assess their condition and the condition of the products they contain.

If it's related to marine transportation, we'll probably do it. Here are a few common types of surveys we perform:

  • Cargo: Break-Bulk, Bulk, Refrigerated, Liquid, or General
  • Vessels: Valuation, On-hire & Off-hire, Hull & Machinery
  • Intermodal Equipment Damage Assessment and Investigation
  • P&I Loss Investigation

  • Yachts: Pre-purchase Valuation, Damage Assessment, & Loss Investigation
  • Flag-State Safety Inspections for Antigua/Barbuda, Belize, Marshall Islands, Panama, and Vanuatu
