MSQ back-office services for ship managers.
MSQ outsourcing from a team that has built and run MSQ, vetting and marine assurance departments. We strengthen your MSQ function with audits, investigations, inspection preparation and the records behind them, and help you navigate the pitfalls.
Practical MSQ support for real fleets.
Use one service or several. Either way you get senior, hands-on expertise and the economies of scale of a specialist team.
