Independent maritime audits
Independent audits that show where you really stand.
Checked against the frameworks charterers, vetting inspectors and the regulator actually apply. At sea and ashore, in Australia and worldwide.
Pilotage audits
Port and coastal pilotage, independently verified.
How pilotage providers, ports, ship operators and companies manage pilotage, audited against the rules that apply: Marine Order 54 for coastal pilotage, state and port requirements for port pilotage, and the provider’s own SMS. Passage planning, under-keel clearance, BRM, fatigue, towage, VTS reporting and pilot boarding. Includes AMSA audit readiness and check pilot preparation.
Vessel navigation audits
Benchmarked to DryBMS and RightShip RISQ.
An independent SOLAS-standard audit of procedures, document control, equipment and records, verified against the frameworks charterers and vetting inspectors apply.
Exempt master audits
Pilotage exemptions, coastal and port.
Coastal exemptions assessed against MO54 (2026); port exemptions against each port authority’s own rules. Competence, currency and under-keel clearance decisions, evidenced on the bridge to IMO Model Course 1.30.
Bridge team operational audits
The bridge team, observed and upskilled in pilotage waters.
We observe how the bridge team works together in operation in pilotage and restricted waters: passage planning, the master-pilot exchange, communication, monitoring, handovers and challenge-and-response. Then we work with the team to build best practice into how they operate every time they enter pilotage or restricted waters.
What we audit against
We audit against the rules and frameworks that actually apply to your operation, not a generic checklist.
How an engagement runs
A call to understand the vessel, port or problem and what decision the work needs to support.
A fixed scope, the frameworks we will audit against, timing and a clear fee. No surprises.
Observation on passage and under pilotage, document review and interviews with the people doing the job.
Findings ranked by risk, each with a practical corrective action and an owner. We debrief your team, track every item to close-out and verify the fix on board or ashore when asked.
