    Maritime & Alternative Fuels Risk Management

    The maritime industry is undergoing rapid transformation driven by alternative fuels, innovative vessel designs, and new operating models. 


    With opportunity comes risk, making effective safety and risk management essential to safe, compliant, and reliable operations.


    I support shipowners, shipyards, operators, and fuel-system developers in moving from early concepts to safe, certified, operational reality. 


    Services include:

    • Design and operational risk management for newbuilds and conversions
    • Independent safety review and audit (design review, HAZID/HAZOP support/review, safety-case assurance)
    • Maritime safety inspections covering systems, equipment, and alternative fuels
    • Commissioning and sea-trials support to ensure vessels enter service safely and as intended
    • Alternative-fuel advisory across LNG, ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen
    • Operational risk assurance, emergency preparedness, training evaluation and readiness
    • Technical authoring and review of operating manual and procedures
    • Strategic consultancy on fuel-system projects, stakeholder assurance, and readiness assessment


    Where complexity exists, I bring clarity. Where challenges arise, I deliver structured, evidence-based solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and long-term sustainability.
