At Swift Marine Services, we provide expert-driven solutions that help vessel operators maintain the highest levels of compliance, safety, and performance. Backed by decades of real-world experience and technical excellence, our team delivers reliable maritime support tailored to every ship type and operational need.
We provide comprehensive Port State Control (PSC) support to help ensure vessels meet international regulatory standards and avoid costly delays or detentions. Our team brings decades of firsthand maritime and inspection experience, allowing us to anticipate potential compliance issues and prepare vessels thoroughly before arrival in port. Whether it’s document reviews, crew readiness checks, or onboard condition assessments, we assist operators across Europe in navigating PSC inspections with confidence and precision.
We conduct in-depth internal audits and HSEQ visits to help operators maintain full compliance with international standards and continuously improve safety, environmental, and quality practices onboard. Our audits are performed by experienced maritime professionals with a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks, operational risks, and industry best practices. Each visit is tailored to the vessel’s operational profile and supports corrective action planning, performance benchmarking, and certification readiness.
We provide professional support to ensure vessels are fully prepared for vetting inspections by oil majors, charterers, and third-party inspectors. Our team assists with documentation reviews, onboard condition assessments, and crew readiness to help meet the highest safety and operational standards. By identifying potential issues in advance and offering practical recommendations, we reduce the risk of negative observations and support continuous vetting performance improvement.
We provide expert attendance and representation during major vessel repairs and dry dockings to ensure quality execution, timeline adherence, and cost control. Acting as the owner’s technical eye onsite, we monitor progress, coordinate with shipyard teams, and verify that all planned and unplanned work is carried out to the required standards. Our presence ensures transparent communication, accurate reporting, and effective resolution of issues — minimizing downtime and maximizing the value of every repair or docking period.
We conduct impartial and thorough investigations into maritime incidents to identify root causes and support preventive measures. Our team applies international best practices, combining technical analysis with operational insight to deliver clear, fact-based reports. From equipment failures to navigational issues or procedural lapses, we help shipowners and operators understand what happened, why it happened, and how to avoid recurrence — promoting a strong culture of safety and accountability onboard.
We carry out detailed sailing navigation audits to assess onboard navigational practices, bridge team performance, and adherence to international regulations. Our audits are conducted during live voyages, enabling us to observe real-time operations, identify procedural gaps, and offer actionable feedback. With a strong emphasis on safety and compliance, we help ensure that navigational standards are consistently upheld, reducing the risk of human error and improving overall voyage management.
We offer expert surveys for P&I (Protection and Indemnity) and H&M (Hull and Machinery) coverage to assess damages, risks, and vessel condition with accuracy and impartiality. Our team supports underwriters, shipowners, and insurers by providing timely, detailed inspection reports that meet industry standards. Whether evaluating claims or conducting routine condition checks, we ensure each survey is handled with technical precision and complete transparency.
We utilize advanced drone technology to perform high-resolution inspections in hard-to-reach or hazardous areas of the vessel, enhancing both safety and efficiency. Our drone inspections provide detailed visual documentation for structural assessments, cargo holds, hull integrity, and more — all without the need for scaffolding or crew exposure to risk. This innovative approach allows for quicker turnaround times, reduced operational disruption, and more accurate condition reporting.
