Services
Start with the decision. Scale only when the scope is controllable.
Dry-dock specification, yard bid comparison, on-site superintendency, Special Survey scope control — defined engagements, confirmed for your specific vessel through a short review.
Buyer-trigger selector
Which decision are you facing?
Vessel Survey & Doability Review
Dry-dock, Special Survey, charter or mobilisation ahead — surveyed, assessed and confirmed doable first.
Repair & Dry-Dock Specification
A dry-dock or repair scope must be specified, costed and controlled before yard commitment.
Reliability Sprint
Recurring system problem — diagnosis and a bounded intervention plan required.
Charter-Readiness Review
Charter awarded, findings unresolved — mobilisation at risk. Owner-side control and a recovery sequence required.
Emergency Repair & Breakdown Recovery
Breakdown or damage — vessel down or programme-threatened. Owner-side control of repair and return-to-service required.
Owner’s Representative
Accountable owner-side presence required through a project phase, within a defined scope.
Upgrade & Lifecycle Definition
Upgrade or lifecycle change — scope, procurement and control strategy required.
Legacy Equipment, HVAC & Supporting Systems
An ageing, end-of-life or supporting system — including HVAC — must keep running safely while a replacement is defined or sourced.
Maintenance Analysis & PMS Diligence
The maintenance system no longer reflects the vessel — or there is no PMS at all. Gaps, deferred items and unknown condition put surveys and reliability at risk.
Engineering & Design Support
A scope needs shipyard engineering or design input — hull, machinery, piping, electrical or naval architecture — to become buildable.
DP Trials & FMEA Management
DP trials due (annual or five-yearly) or a class change — FMEA update and acceptance required.
Crane & Lifting Recertification
Crane certification expiring — proof-load test, witness and Class closeout required.
Vessel Reactivation & Return to Service
Laid-up asset — survey, recovery and return to classed operation required.
New-Build & Conversion Owner's Engineer
An owner is building or converting a vessel and needs owner-side design, build and acceptance oversight.

Engagement-start sequence
How an engagement begins
Each engagement is staffed to its complexity — the number of superintendents and specialists is set to the scope, then mobilised. You scale from a single reviewer to a full mobilisation team without carrying a permanent department.
- You share the requirement through the project route.
- MVS classifies capability, authority, availability and information needs.
- We confirm the right engagement and its boundary, and route you accordingly.
- A written scope defines deliverables, interfaces and acceptance before work starts.
No commitment on enquiry
Submitting an enquiry creates no acceptance, mobilisation, budget or schedule commitment.
