EXPERT WITNESS:
Maritime Resolve offers expert witness services based on the experience, qualifications, and knowledge of its partners. There are three main areas:
SAFE PORT AND SAFE BERTH
In this, Captain Douglas J Lindsay is the lead expert. With many years service as a qualified master mariner, as well as experience as a port agent, a stevedore, and in ship management, his background is directly relevant. Since 2000 he has also become expert in the application of the UK’s Port Marine Safety Code (see the port pages for details) which has given him in-depth knowledge of marine operations, risk assessment, and management structures in ports.
THE FISHING INDUSTRY
The lead expert is D Tony Eden. He has wide experience of the fishing industry, both afloat and ashore, and consults on operations, facilities and the trade in sea products. He has had successful cases involving injury and safe working practices on the decks of fishing boats, disputes over fish trading activities, and fishing vessel design and planning.
YACHTS AND MARINE LEISURE ACTIVITIES
The lead expert is Derek Williams. He has background experience in yacht design, construction and maintenance with a particular emphasis on electrical and electronic installations. He has also run his own yacht charter business.
COMBINED SERVICES
Where appropriate, Maritime Resolve’s partners work together each providing their own area of expertise to deal with complex cases. Collisions between fishing boats and merchant ships (or yachts) are a good example.
OTHER EXPERTS
Maritime Resolve also has available to it highest quality experts in cruise and passenger ship operations and liability, ship management, and detailed navigation matters.
