The bridge, then the desk.

An independent technical perspective to secure your operations, transactions and casualties.

Our perspective

Expertise happens aboard, not only on paper.We assess your ship as if it were our own.

An independent marine expert, OCMEF inspects, surveys and prepares your ship’s compliance. From the office to the quay: condition surveys, draft surveys during commercial operations, casualty expertise and defensible reports. A neutral technical opinion, never a stake in the chosen solution.

Energy transition

The energy transition is not just about choosing a technology or a fuel.

Every project depends on the type of navigation, the operating profile, the objectives and the investment capacity. OCMEF brings the independent expertise to arbitrate between technologies, secure your choices and guide your investments.

This work connects with our advisory on energy and regulatory transition. For inland craft, it connects with inland waterway expertise.
