Consultancy

More and more offshore projects or major lead contractors and oil companies require vessels and equipment to be audited before deployment according to amongst others standardised inspections provided by organisations as IMCA. Since 2009 WNV surveyors obtained various accreditations by this organisation, thus being able to provide such audits.

CMID and MISW are well-known programs and inspections which are provided by these associations and international industrial organisations. Having been developed in response to requests of the members or of the main contracting parties, the ultimate aim is to provide a robust (web-based) inspection tool and database of inspections. Done by professional, trained and accredited inspectors WNV carries out these surveys independently with the highest care and respects for the interest of ship owners.

WNV is a member of the Society of Consulting Marine Engineers and Ship Surveyors (SCMS) and is accredited through this society by the UK Marine and Coast guard Agency (MCA) to perform statutory surveys of commercial vessels, pilot boats and workboats.
 

With our technical, cost and contract knowledge, our consultants can act as independent arbitrators to give their professional opinion of contractual issues, new building-, joint venture- and charter party disputes.

WNV offers design and construction advice for dredging equipment and issues newbuilding recommendations. We also supervise construction processes, conversions and repair work for various equipment and vessel types. An additional service consists of the design, preparation and evaluation of tender documents for dredging contracts.

WNV surveyors can act as expert witnesses in specially technical and dredging-related matters.
