Featured Case Studies
Complex Vessel Construction and Conversion Oversight
Challenge: A client required expert supervision for the conversion of a bulk carrier to a specialized transshipment vessel, a project with tight deadlines and complex technical requirements.
Our Solution: Oceanic Advisors deployed a dedicated team of Chief Engineers to provide on-site supervision. We managed the shipyard, oversaw all technical modifications, ensured compliance with classification society rules, and delivered the project on time and within budget.
Outcome: The client received a fully compliant, high-performance vessel ready for its charter, avoiding costly delays and technical complications.
Favorable Outcome in a Multi-Million Dollar Arbitration
Challenge: A ship owner faced a significant charter party dispute involving a claim for off-hire and vessel underperformance.
Our Solution: Our legal advisory team, working with maritime lawyers, conducted a thorough analysis of the voyage data, vessel logs, and charter party terms. We provided expert witness testimony and managed the arbitration proceedings.
Outcome: Our meticulous preparation and expert representation led to a favorable outcome for our client, successfully defending against the majority of the claim and saving them substantial financial losses.
Emergency Response and Technical Solution for Main Engine Failure
Challenge: A vessel in our client's fleet suffered a critical main engine failure mid-voyage in a remote location.
Our Solution: Our 24/7 technical support team immediately coordinated with the vessel, sourced necessary spare parts, and arranged for a riding squad of specialist engineers to meet the vessel at the nearest port. We managed the entire repair process, minimizing downtime.
Outcome: The vessel was back in service in a fraction of the time and cost quoted by local agents, demonstrating the value of our global network and rapid-response capability.
Streamlining Flag Registration for an Entire Fleet
Challenge: A growing shipping company needed to consolidate its fleet under a single, more advantageous flag state to improve operational and administrative efficiency.
Our Solution: We provided a comprehensive consultation, recommending the optimal flag based on their trade patterns. We then managed the entire re-flagging process for 10 vessels, handling all documentation with both the old and new registries.
Outcome: The fleet was successfully and efficiently re-flagged, resulting in significant administrative savings and streamlined compliance for the client.
