When a maritime disagreement escalates—between buyer and seller, owner and yard, insurer and insured, or supplier and client—technical clarity is often what’s missing. Expertise & Mediation provides independent, professional support to establish facts, assess the situation objectively, and help the parties move towards a workable solution. This can include reviewing documentation (contracts, invoices, specifications, photos, previous reports), inspecting the vessel or the disputed area, and producing a clear expert opinion that explains what is observed, what is likely cause, and what the practical implications are. In mediation, the focus is not only on “who is right”, but on resolving the issue efficiently: identifying the real points of disagreement, separating technical facts from assumptions, and proposing reasonable pathways (repairs, compensation, corrective actions, timelines) that both sides can accept. A neutral expert can also help prevent misunderstandings caused by different standards, language barriers, or incomplete information. The outcome is typically a structured report and/or a mediated agreement framework that reduces friction and avoids unnecessary delays, costs, and stress. The objective is to protect your interests while keeping the process professional, fair, and evidence-based—so you can get back to operating, selling, or enjoying the vessel with minimal disruption.
