Our specialty is providing detailed survey/audits of Shipboard Marine Navigation & Communications Electronics, and complete remodeling of navigation & communications shipboard suites. To our knowledge, we are the only company in the United States providing this service. Our Survey/Audits have consistently revealed previously undetected faults and safety issues. Our reports have been very well received.

Our slogan, “Identifying Faults Before They Become Major Failures”, has truly been an eye opener for many ship’s crews, owners and management companies. To date we have thoroughly surveyed 31 ships and have corrected many faults before they became failures.

Our surveys generally are conducted in the static mode (dockside) and occasionally in the dynamic mode (underway) and usually take about 1 week of shipboard diagnostics and another 2 weeks in our home office creating a photo-filled, computer generated report finalized for commercial printing. Our reports are written in a problem/solution format whereby we not only identify problems but also offer solutions to correct them.
