The right system
for your port.
Independent technical advisory for port authorities and terminal operators procuring gangways, berthing aid systems, and critical mooring equipment. Field-proven expertise across four continents — no vendor ties, no guesswork.
Services
From the first site survey to final acceptance testing — I represent your port's interests at every stage of a major equipment procurement.
Full analysis of your berth geometry, vessel traffic profile, tidal and meteo-ocean data, and operational constraints. Translated into a clear technical requirements document vendors must meet.
Rigorous, site-specific functional specifications and tender documents. Not generic copy-paste specs — requirements that protect your port and hold vendors accountable to your real operational needs.
I know the major BAS and gangway vendors from the inside. I evaluate proposals on technical merit, integration complexity, real-world reliability — not just price — and give you a clear, defensible recommendation.
Your eyes and ears at the factory and on-site. I run or witness Factory Acceptance Tests and Site Acceptance Tests with the technical depth to push back on vendors, catch deviations early, and protect your contractual position.
Post-installation analysis using sensor data, operational logs, and environmental records to validate system performance, identify deviations from spec, and support warranty claims or continuous improvement.
Faster, sharper deliverables — O&M manuals, inspection checklists, training materials, and commissioning reports — produced with AI-assisted workflows that reduce cost without sacrificing technical precision.
Clients
I work with any organisation that needs independent technical expertise when procuring or evaluating port equipment.
Public and private port authorities planning major capital investment in berthing systems, gangways, or mooring infrastructure — who need independent assurance that the chosen solution is fit for purpose.
LNG, oil, container, and bulk terminal operators with specific operational requirements that generic vendor proposals often fail to address. From Saudi Aramco-scale critical infrastructure to regional ferry terminals.
Engineering, procurement and construction firms that need a specialist sub-consultant for the marine and port equipment scope of a larger infrastructure project.
Lenders, insurers, and development banks financing port infrastructure who require independent technical review of equipment specifications and vendor selection processes.
Engagement Process
A structured, transparent process from first call to final report.
30–60 min to understand your project scope, timeline, and objectives. Free of charge.
Remote or on-site analysis of your berth, vessel data, and existing documentation.
Specifications, evaluation reports, or FAT/SAT protocols — depending on your scope.
I attend key meetings and inspections, representing your interests directly with the supplier.
Final sign-off report with recommendations, lessons learned, and post-installation support options.
Field credibility.
No vendor agenda.
Most port equipment consultants come from vendor sales or academia. I've physically commissioned BAS systems, gangways, and mooring equipment under real operational pressure — across oil terminals, LNG facilities, container ports, and cruise berths.
