Complex marine operations demand more than routine inspections — they require deep technical knowledge, lifecycle foresight, and rapid, experienced decision-making.

At Navis Safety Consulting, we provide engineer-led consultancy services tailored to shipowners, managers, investors, and lenders who need actionable guidance for dry-docking, conversions, incident response, and performance optimization.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience across dry docks, flag authorities, and major survey programs, Leonidas Tzaneas delivers trustworthy expertise, detailed assessments, and strategic advisory that protects your assets, budgets, and timelines.

Dry Dock Planning & Attendance

We support your shipyard planning phase, supervise repairs or retrofits, and verify milestones with photographic reporting and compliance-focused oversight.

Maintenance Strategy
& Lifecycle Analysis

We evaluate your vessel’s condition, maintenance records, and operational history to design a tailored lifecycle or overhaul strategy, reducing downtime and long-term costs.

Retrofit / Conversion Feasibility

From scrubbers to ballast systems or LNG conversions, we assess retrofitting viability, layout constraints, and Flag / Class compliance before you commit capital.

Fuel Performance Optimization

We analyze bunker usage, voyage data, and propulsion efficiency to recommend hull or engine tweaks, slow steaming strategies, or system upgrades.

Incident / Breakdown Investigations

When systems fail or safety incidents occur, we act fast to identify root causes, engineering faults, or procedural lapses — supporting insurers, P&I clubs, and legal teams.

Technical Due Diligence
for Lenders / Investors

We conduct in-depth condition and compliance reviews on behalf of financial stakeholders to assess operational risk, asset value, and regulatory standing before transactions.
