Navis Consultants Inc. maintains a strict internal project-vetting protocol. We act exclusively as an independent engineering partner to the Owner and the Yard. Before project initiation, we verify that each vessel’s Class society allows for independent engineering support, ensuring there is no conflict of interest with our other professional commitments.
