Why Asbestos Consulting is Crucial for Maritime Insurance and Compliance
Asbestos remains a significant risk in older vessels and offshore platforms, and non-compliance with asbestos regulations can result in severe penalties, operational delays, and costly insurance claims. Shipowners and operators must comply with a range of international and national asbestos regulations, including SOLAS, IMO, and UK CAR 2012, to ensure the safe management of asbestos-containing materials (ACMs).
Our asbestos consulting services help maritime operators understand and meet their regulatory obligations, reducing the risk of non-compliance and ensuring that asbestos is safely managed throughout the vessel’s lifecycle. We also provide expert support for insurers handling asbestos-related claims, offering detailed assessments and risk management solutions.

Our team of certified asbestos professionals has extensive experience in the maritime industry, ensuring that you receive expert advice and support.
Regulatory Compliance Consulting
We provide detailed guidance on complying with international asbestos regulations, including SOLAS, IMO Asbestos Guidelines, and UK Control of Asbestos Regulations (CAR) 2012. Our consultants work with you to assess your vessel’s asbestos risks, develop compliance strategies, and ensure that asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) are safely managed and monitored.
Asbestos Risk Assessments
Our asbestos risk assessments provide a thorough evaluation of the asbestos hazards onboard your vessel or offshore platform. We identify asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), assess the condition and risk level of the asbestos, and provide recommendations for managing or removing asbestos to ensure compliance and minimise health risks.
Insurance Claim Support
We offer expert support for maritime insurers and operators dealing with asbestos-related claims. Our consultants provide detailed asbestos surveys, risk assessments, and documentation to support your claims process, ensuring that asbestos risks are accurately assessed and managed. Our services help reduce the financial impact of asbestos-related incidents and ensure a fair resolution of insurance claims.
Compliance Audits and Reporting
Our compliance audits provide a comprehensive review of your vessel’s asbestos management practices. We assess whether your vessel meets the required international standards and provide detailed reports outlining any areas of non-compliance. These audits help you take corrective action to ensure full regulatory compliance and minimise liability.
Regulatory Compliance for Asbestos in the Maritime Industry
Our asbestos consulting services ensure that you remain compliant with all relevant asbestos regulations, including:
Requires ongoing asbestos management for vessels built before the 2002 asbestos ban.
