About BBI Marine

 

WHY ARE WE BBI MARINE

Having served extensively at sea as both a Chief Engineer and Navigation Officer, and later assuming executive leadership roles within the global maritime industry, I also spearheaded the launch of a cargo operation startup in North America. During this journey, I assessed the existing support structures for the sector. It became clear that the conventional practice of ship-owner or operator-conducted surveys is costly, mainly due to travel expenses, and often constrained by the limited time vessels spend in port.

OUR PASSION AND COMMITMENT

We have a deep passion for the marine industry and a strong commitment to enhancing its safety standards. Actively engaging in the industry's development, we advocate for best practices, aiming to minimize risks and enhance overall safety. Leveraging our extensive experience and knowledge in the marine and supporting sectors, we aspire to provide top-notch, flexible services that precisely meet our customers' needs, supporting their maritime assets with the utmost professionalism.

WHAT DO WE DO

BBI Marine offers vessel registration services for registries approved by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and recognized globally for their Quality Assurance certification. Our range of services includes pre-purchase surveys for both pleasure crafts and commercial vessels, third-party ISM auditing of ships, technical consulting, and owners' representative services. We provide advice on competency models for crew, training recommendations, and third-party expert reviews in the maritime domain.

Our approach is flexible, working collaboratively with clients to tailor our services to meet their specific needs or to help identify those needs when necessary.
