Six areas where we can help

Select any service to see what it covers and what you can expect to receive.

Maritime decisions often involve long commitments and many moving parts. We help you step back, frame the decision clearly, weigh the options and their risks, and choose a course you can explain to your board, partners or financiers.

  • What this typically includes
  • Options analysis for commercial decisions
  • Review of operating models and costs
  • Contract and counterparty considerations
  • Clear written recommendations

Before investing in a new service, asset or market, you need a realistic picture of demand, competition, costs and risks. We structure the questions, gather and analyse the relevant information, and present findings you can act on, including what we could not verify.

  • What this typically includes
  • Market landscape and demand review
  • Cost and revenue assumptions
  • Risk and sensitivity analysis
  • Decision-ready study report

Maritime activity sits under several layers of international and local regulation. We help you understand which requirements are likely to apply, where the gaps are, and what a sensible plan to address them looks like. Where formal legal opinions or class decisions are needed, we work alongside the appropriate specialists.

  • What this typically includes
  • Mapping of applicable requirements
  • Gap review against current practice
  • Practical compliance roadmap
  • Coordination with legal and technical specialists

A purchase decision should rest on more than a price and a brochure. We help you define what to check, coordinate independent surveys and inspections where required, review the documentation, and bring the findings together so you can negotiate and decide with confidence.

  • What this typically includes
  • Definition of inspection scope
  • Coordination of independent surveyors
  • Documentation and history review
  • Consolidated findings and recommendations

Choosing the right supplier, service provider or partner reduces risk across your operation. We define clear evaluation criteria, gather information from candidates, compare them on a like-for-like basis, and highlight the questions that still need answers.

  • What this typically includes
  • Evaluation criteria and scoring
  • Request for information and proposals
  • Comparative assessment
  • Shortlist with rationale

For companies looking at the UAE maritime sector, the first challenge is understanding how the market works and who the relevant stakeholders are. We provide a clear orientation to the operating environment, the typical routes to market and the practical considerations to plan for.

  • What this typically includes
  • Overview of the operating environment
  • Key stakeholders and routes to market
  • Practical considerations and risks
  • Next-step planning

Our consultancy services are provided within the scope of our Ajman Free Zone licence for maritime consultancy. Where an assignment needs formal legal, classification or survey opinions, we coordinate with the appropriate independent specialists.

What makes the difference

Advice that holds up when it matters

A recommendation is only useful if it survives scrutiny from your board, your partners and your financiers. That is why we are open about our assumptions, clear about what we could and could not verify, and practical about what you should do next.

  • An independent viewWe are not tied to any shipowner, supplier or yard, so our advice is shaped by your interests and the evidence.
  • Confidential by defaultYour information, plans and transactions are handled with discretion and protected by written confidentiality terms.
  • Clear scope and feesBefore any work begins, you know exactly what we will deliver, when, and what it will cost.
