Flag State Inspections are not just routine — they’re critical checkpoints for your vessel’s regulatory standing. At Navis Safety Consulting, we help shipowners and managers prepare thoroughly, identify weaknesses, and resolve deficiencies before the inspector boards.

Led by Leonidas Tzaneas, a certified inspector for Liberia, Panama, SLMARAD, and more, we deliver pre-inspection technical evaluations that reduce risk, improve performance, and protect your reputation during Flag State or PSC visits.

We assess onboard systems, procedures, safety equipment, and crew readiness in full alignment with Flag State and IMO standards, ensuring you’re one step ahead.

Our consultants review certificates, logbooks, and manuals, then guide your crew through mock drills to assess response and identify procedural gaps.

We provide structured, prioritized lists of issues to correct from minor compliance gaps to critical system failures, with practical guidance on closing them.

We prepare custom packages for Masters and DPA/CSO roles with pre-inspection tips, documentation layout suggestions, and briefing points to streamline the inspection day.

We conduct a fast, structured process — from initial boarding and ROB measurements to detailed condition checks and final reporting — ensuring clear, unbiased documentation for a smooth and dispute-free charter transition.
