Technical
investigations

Ships are highly complex machines, and when technical failures occur, they can lead to costly delays, safety risks, and, in severe cases, complete vessel incapacitation. Our technical investigations focus on identifying the underlying causes of mechanical breakdowns, malfunctions, or failures on board. Whether it's a propulsion issue, machinery malfunction, or equipment breakdown, we bring our deep technical expertise to uncover what went wrong and why.

By analyzing technical data, inspecting machinery, and reviewing maintenance records, we provide a comprehensive diagnosis that not only addresses the immediate problem but also helps prevent future failures. This level of detail is essential for ship operators and insurers seeking to mitigate risk and maintain the long-term health of their fleet.
