Projects we have actually delivered

Passenger Vessel Recovery & Stabilization in Panama

Client: Confidential shipowner

A laid-up passenger vessel with an extensive and initially fragmented repair scope underwent comprehensive technical assessment and stabilization. TESS coordinated multidisciplinary inspections and specialist contractors, prioritized critical defects, supported the restoration of essential machinery required for a safe condition afloat, and converted the findings into a phased long-term recovery program.

• Comprehensive vessel condition assessment and defect prioritization
• Essential systems addressed to establish a safer, technically controlled condition afloat
• Multiple specialist contractors coordinated through one technical interface
• Phased engineering roadmap developed for long-term vessel recovery

Ongoing technical management of a premium passenger vessel

Client: Confidential shipowner

As the owner's technical representative, TESS runs condition surveys, maintenance planning, OEM procurement and contractor supervision for a premium-class passenger vessel.

• Continuous condition assessment catches failures before they affect operations
• Repair planning, budget support and technical documentation in one place
• Coordination with class representatives, suppliers and vessel management

International marine procurement & supply chain management

Client: Shipowners, shipyards & government organizations

Global supplier network across Europe, Asia and the Americas delivering OEM equipment and specialized marine systems — every purchase backed by an engineering review, not just a price comparison.

• Technical verification of requirements before sourcing, quality assessment before delivery
• Customs, logistics and documentation handled end to end
• Procurement decisions informed by hands-on shipbuilding and repair experience

Independent vessel condition survey program

Client: Commercial shipowners

Independent condition surveys before purchase, charter or repair: hull, machinery, electrical and cargo systems — with risk-ranked findings and cost-focused recommendations instead of a checkbox report.

• Full photographic documentation and engineering observations per international standards
• Maintenance priorities estimated so owners see the investment curve, not just defects
• Surveys performed on vessels under multiple classification societies

Owner's technical representation & project supervision

Client: Private shipowners & investors

Independent supervision of repairs, retrofits and shipyard periods — acting solely in the owner's interest: quality verification, schedule control, class coordination and transparent reporting.

• Shipyard work verified against contract and long-term reliability, not yard convenience
• Factory acceptance tests, documentation review and progress monitoring included
• Full technical control for the owner without permanent onsite staff

Dry dock planning & repair supervision

Client: Commercial fleet operators

Repair specifications, contractor evaluation, work supervision and quality control before, during and after dry docking — planned around minimizing off-hire time.

• Owner-side supervision catches issues early and prevents expensive rework
• Workmanship, safety and schedule monitored daily through the docking period
• Completed works verified before redelivery of the vessel

Fleet technical support & lifecycle management

Client: Commercial shipowners

Proactive ship maintenance and repair support for fleet operators: condition assessment, maintenance planning, troubleshooting and OEM spares — engineering that prevents failures instead of chasing them.

• Works directly with superintendents, chief engineers and vessel managers
• Recommendations tied to operational priorities and maintenance budgets
• Extends service life of critical onboard systems

Emergency technical response & rapid engineering support

Client: Commercial shipping industry

Emergency ship repair support when equipment fails mid-operation: immediate technical evaluation, root-cause identification, spares sourcing and repair coordination — focused on restoring the schedule, then preventing the repeat.

• Remote engineering assistance and supplier mobilization within hours
• Every response ends with the underlying cause identified, not just the symptom patched
• International supplier network enables rapid parts delivery

Marine engineering consultancy & technical advisory

Client: Shipowners, shipyards & industrial companies

Independent engineering advice for repair strategies, retrofit feasibility, specification reviews and technical disputes — grounded in shipboard operating experience, not theory.

• Advisory scope spans commercial vessels, shipyards and industrial plants
• Recommendations balance class compliance, cost and operational reality
• Engagements from one-off reviews to long-term technical partnership

UTM & structural surveys on two 30,000 GT vessels underway

Client: Confidential shipowner

Full ultrasonic thickness measurement of two ocean-going 30,000 GT vessels completed during a live voyage — 10,000+ measurement points, zero interruption to operations, survey cycle cut by 15%.

• Cargo spaces, ballast tanks, shell plating and framing measured with certified equipment
• Class-compliant reports delivered ready for survey and dry-dock planning
• Optimized workflow reduced the survey cycle by 15%
