Our team consists of maritime specialists, many of whom are former operators from the UK Royal Navy and Royal Fleet Auxiliary or experts with extensive experience working in the defence industry or for the Ministry of Defence.
They have a wide range of skills, knowledge, experience and qualifications relevant to the maritime domain, covering naval architecture, marine engineering, electrical engineering, weapons engineering, safety engineering and environmental science – all with real ‘hands-on’ experience working directly with the maritime platforms, systems and equipment which they support.
Our services are always individually tailored to the correct requirements, legislation and standards. We collaborate closely with clients to ensure that our support is streamlined, efficient, and consistent, delivering exceptional value – without compromising quality.
Our comprehensive range of services includes:
Identifying and managing hazards, risks and impacts
Navigating the ever-changing regulatory landscape
Designing to meet standards and requirements
Developing and maintaining the safety and environmental case
As experts in hazard identification and assessment activity, we can utilise any available hazard log management software or bespoke software to create and manage hazard logs for maritime platforms at all stages of the project lifecycle.
Our expertise in safety and environmental hazard and risk management means we can effectively apply any hazard identification or risk assessment method (including SWIFT, HAZOP, FTA, ETA) using the appropriate model (including Bow-Tie and STPA) to ensure your projects’ safety and environmental risks are captured and managed.
We draw upon our unparalleled understanding of the regulatory domain and foresight into future progressions to ensure your maritime designs, systems and platforms are developed to meet current and evolving requirements.
We have a track record of developing legislation compliance reports and assessments at every stage of the project lifecycle, including retrospective activities for in-service and disposal stage projects. We can effectively navigate and interpret UK and EU legislation, as well as maritime-specific legislation, regulations and standards. Our team of experts can efficiently guide projects through the ever-evolving regulatory landscape and be a trusted advisor in interpreting the requirements.
We leverage our extensive experience in supporting acquisition design and in-service modification programmes to ensure adherence to the highest standards and associated requirements throughout all stages of the project life cycle. This includes conducting assurance and audit services around the world.
In addition to identifying requirements and facilitating the generation of necessary evidence, our expertise extends to deriving specifications for novel or developmental designs, and we employ techniques such as Functional Hazard Analysis (FHA) to identify required integrity levels. Our team members possess a comprehensive understanding of design documentation – including drawings, schematics and specifications. This ensures seamless collaboration with your team, serving as the indispensable experts you can trust in your design programmes.
We’re experts in the management of safety and environmental cases and the creation of case reports for maritime projects at all stages of the lifecycle and across all platform, system and equipment levels.
We’ve developed and maintained safety and environmental case reports for projects on all scales and stages. From supporting in-service Royal Navy vessels to advancing submarine radar development, our services are customised to fulfil our customer’s specific requirements. Our team is highly proficient and qualified in safety case structuring and methodology, including Claim Argument Evidence (CAE) and Goal Structured Notation (GSN). In addition to this, we have extensive experience in developing bespoke reports and software tools or utilising existing available solutions such as Adelard.
