WORK HISTORY
Owner & Founder - Marine Technical Director Dockspec Marine Ltd @Dockspec Marine Ltd
I founded DOCKSPEC Marine in 2020 to support clients across marine projects and inspections. Having worked at sea, ashore with owners and managers, and directly within shipyards, I recognised that this blend of operational and technical experience was both unique and in short supply—creating an opportunity to deliver practical, high-value support to the industry.DOCKSPEC Marine provides turnkey consulting and project management services across the shipyard, maritime (commercial and private), offshore, and renewable energy sectors. Through a flexible delivery model and a global network of experienced alliance partners, we help clients achieve their objectives efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively.Headquartered in Newcastle, UK, we are a specialist consultancy with a global footprint, supporting ship and rig owners, operators, managers, and other maritime stakeholders. Our approach focuses on delivering timely, cost-efficient, and high-quality outcomes without compromising technical standards.With over 35 years of industry experience, we bring strong expertise in dry docking, vessel and rig inspections, marine project management, and interfacing with shipowners, P&I clubs, and regulatory bodies. We also have specialist knowledge in marine scrubber systems, ship repair, and vessel condition assessments.Key Services:• Inspection & Audit: H&M, P&I, pre-purchase, condition, OVID, eCMID, on/off-hire, and bespoke inspections.• Docking & Project Management: End-to-end or partial management of afloat repairs, dry dockings, conversions, new builds, and mobilisations—from specification and bid analysis to on-site supervision.
