Overseas Maritime is a completely independent Ship Advisory Practice serving the local and international Shipping Community.
We have been involved in numerous assignments and gained valuable expertise in surveying all types of vessels and commodities and as expert witnesses on many of the major casualty incidents in the Eastern Mediterranean.
