Marine Operations Experts

From the hierarchy of command, to navigation and security, the rules and culture at sea are different and often foreign to industry outsiders.

Shipboard/vessel Operations

For the uninitiated, shipboard operations can be complex and confusing. From the hierarchy of command, to navigation and security, the rules and culture at sea are different and often foreign to industry outsiders.

Marine Operations specialists have detailed knowledge of regulatory compliance, safety policies and procedures, maintenance requirements, marine equipment, and commanding emergency situations. The experts at Robson Forensic have served at sea and on land, overseeing other Captains and their vessels, developing policy standards, and conducting investigations into major incidents and accidents.

Examples of Casework May Include:

  • Why a ship left a safe haven resulting in damage to the vessel or injuries
  • Engine room operations involving oil discharges
  • Vessel operating too fast in a channel
  • Premature engine failure
  • Embarkation/Disembarkation mishaps
  • Safety procedures and equipment in marine fire incidents.

Our experts use their knowledge, skills, training and experience to sort out complex cases.
