Our particular specialisation is on-the-spot research, investigation and - when called for -action. We have negotiated in the back streets of Russia, liberated cargo ships from up creeks in West Africa, debated fishing boats with governments where desert meets the sea, found and recovered runaway vessels from the Amazon jungle and repossessed substantial numbers of merchant ships on behalf of creditors.

Not all of our work and life is so exciting though: we also do advisory and planning work, feasability studies and project development and the likes as well as the marine aspects of corporate audits, re-structurings and workouts.

And, with our knowledge of the rougher edges to illuminate it, we provide office-based studies and expert witness services.

Our specialised debt recovery service has its own website at: www.yachtdebtrecovery.com

The other pages give details of the following services:

VESSELS FOR SALE: As a service to our clients we may be asked to buy or sell vessels. See the page for any that are currently available. For Vessels For Sale click HERE

RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATION: our core ability is to find out what the reality is on the spot, to investigate the background to a story and to develop the supporting knowledge. For the Research page click HERE

APPRAISAL: Our investigative skills can be deployed at any stage of the financial cycle, from blue sky dreams through serious planning and audits to sweeping up the mess when it all falls down. For Appraisal click HERE

PROBLEM SOLVING AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION: From many years' experience of dealing with them, we are good at being dropped into difficult - often heated -situations in far away places and negotiating a solution to them. Experience like this also makes us very useful in advisory work and conciliation in more restrained conditions. For Dispute Resolution click HERE

SHIP REPOSSESSION: The last resort for creditors trying to limit their losses. Between us, we have repossessed over thirty ships and are highly expert at this arcane specialisation. For Ship Repossession click HERE

PORTS AND WATERWAYS: Our ports service covers organisation, planning, and safety audits. In the last few years we have made a particular specialisation of implementing the Port Marine Safety Code in the UK - a service now attracting interest from other countries as well. And our experience of problem solving is every bit as useful to port authorities with troublesome ships. For Ports click HERE

SMALL PORTS: Conscious of the constraints on small ports we have developed a special service where one consultant will provide all the inputs needed. The main benefit is economy. For Small Ports click HERE

CRUISE LINERS: We have particular expertise in this sector, not least in dealing with the major problems which can occur when a cruise venture collapses. For cruise liners click HERE

THE FISHING INDUSTRY: It is unusual to find this specialist expertise in a general marine consultancy but one of our partners has been in it all his working life. All of our services are available, and we can put together multi-disciplinary teams for fishing logisitics, expert witness and the likes. For the Fishing Industry click HERE.

YACHTS AND THE LEISURE SECTOR: Again, we have specialists who offer the range of Maritime Resolve services. For our general yacht service click HERE

YACHT DEBT RECOVERY: provides a service especially tailored for creditors in this widespread and complex sector. For Yacht Debt Recovery click HERE.
