Independent Technical Superintendency

What I do - and how it protects you.

Independent technical superintendent services for owners and managers who can't be at the yard themselves - worldwide, and as your local representative at the Black Sea yards of Varna and Burgas. Each engagement is scoped and quoted as a fixed project - no open-ended day rates.

WHAT I DO

Technical superintendency services engineered for maritime precision.

1. Drydock & Repair Attendance

On-site superintendency ensuring timeline adherence, class compliance, and strict budget control.

What you get: Daily progress reports, drydock deviation tracking, and final invoice negotiation.

When you need it: During scheduled special/intermediate surveys or emergency drydockings worldwide.

2. Newbuilding Site Supervision

Rigorous quality oversight from keel laying to sea trials by seasoned hull and machinery experts.

What you get: Defect lists tracking, plan approval verification, and milestone certification.

When you need it: From contract signing through the entire shipyard construction phase.

3. Pre-Purchase & Condition Inspection

Unbiased, deep-dive asset evaluation to protect your investment and uncover hidden liabilities.

What you get: Comprehensive 150-point checklist report, photo log, and estimated capex repair lists.

When you need it: Prior to vessel acquisition, chartering, or for insurance/financing validation.

4. Repair Spec & Quote Evaluation

Technical optimization of work scopes to eliminate shipyard padding and reduce cost variance.

What you get: Standardized bid comparison matrices, gap analysis, and cost-saving recommendations.

When you need it: 3 to 6 months prior to drydocking during the specification preparation phase.

5. Interim & Project Technical Management

Seamless operational continuity during superintendent transitions or peak project workloads.

What you get: Active PMS oversight, class status maintenance, and remote technical support.

When you need it: To cover temporary staffing gaps or major retrofits (e.g., BWTS/Scrubber installs).

6. Local Owner's Representation — Varna & Burgas

On-the-ground marine expertise in Bulgarian ports to safeguard owner interests directly with local yards.

What you get: Direct liaison with Odessos, MTG Dolphin, and Terem yards, plus local logistics support.

When you need it: Whenever your vessel calls at Black Sea ports for repairs, crew changes, or cargo ops.

BEYOND THE MARINE SECTOR

The same technical rigour, applied to industrial plant and equipment - an adjacent capability for clients who need it, delivered to the same standard.

External Technical Manager

THE PROMISE

Superintendent-level technical management for companies with plant and equipment but no in-house technical director.

WHAT YOU GET

Outsourced technical management - preventive maintenance planning, diagnostics, selection and control of contractors and suppliers, technical budgets and CAPEX, technical audits, breakdown response, and documentation.

WHEN YOU NEED IT

An industrial operation - production site, facility, or equipment fleet - that needs a technical manager's oversight without a full-time hire.

TWO BASES. ONE STANDARD.

Worldwide and the Black Sea - equally.

Every service above is delivered two ways, to the same standard: at your yard anywhere in the world, or locally at the Black Sea yards of Varna and Burgas - where I'm based, on the ground, and know the yards first-hand.
