Working together
Bring me the problem that sits between the plant and the people who run it.
Most technical trouble is not a fault in the equipment. It is a gap between what a system demands and what the people operating it have been given: no training built for that plant, no structure to pass on what the experienced ones know, no process that survives a shift change.
I know both sides of it, and the difficulties that arise, at sea and ashore. What I offer ranges from a single training course through a full training programme to an audit or accompaniment through commissioning.


Solutions are made where the plant stands, not from a distance.

Please describe the situation as it stands, in as much detail as you like. That is usually enough for a straight answer about whether this is something I can help with, and what it would involve, before either of us spends real time on it.
