Our statutory compliance audits are designed to prepare vessels for inspections with minimal deficiencies and reduced detention risk. We ensure compliance with international maritime regulations, helping vessels maintain operational reliability and inspection readiness at all times.
02.
Environmental Compliance & MARPOL Audits
We help vessel operators strengthen environmental compliance through detailed audits of pollution prevention systems, records, and onboard practices. Our approach minimizes the risk of environmental violations, penalties, and operational disruptions.
03.
Safety Management System (SMS) Effectiveness Audits
Our SMS audits evaluate how effectively safety procedures are implemented onboard beyond documentation requirements. We focus on practical execution, crew awareness, risk control, and emergency preparedness to build a stronger safety culture.
04.
Navigation & Bridge Operations Audits
We assess bridge operations, navigation practices, and watchkeeping standards to reduce the risk of collisions, grounding, and navigational incidents. Our audits improve operational discipline and enhance navigational safety performance.
05.
Cargo Operations & Vessel Stability Audits
Our cargo and stability audits ensure safe cargo handling, loading operations, and vessel stability management in compliance with international standards. We help reduce cargo-related claims, operational risks, and stability incidents.
06.
Vetting Preparation & Commercial Inspections
We provide comprehensive vetting preparation services for RightShip, SIRE, CDI, and commercial inspections to improve vessel acceptance and chartering opportunities. Our inspections help vessels achieve higher compliance standards and stronger commercial credibility.
07.
Pre-Delivery / Pre-Purchase & Condition Surveys
Our technical condition surveys provide shipowners, managers, and investors with accurate assessments of vessel condition, operational risks, and maintenance status. This enables informed decision-making and reduces unexpected technical liabilities.
08.
Charterers Pre-Hire / Off-Hire / Bunker Survey
We conduct detailed bunker and vessel condition surveys during on-hire and off-hire operations to ensure accurate reporting and transparent vessel handover procedures. Our inspections help prevent disputes and protect commercial interests.
09.
RIGHT Ship Inspection Preparation of Vessel
Our RightShip preparation services help vessels achieve inspection readiness through detailed onboard assessments, compliance verification, and operational improvement recommendations. We focus on reducing observations, improving ratings, and enhancing the vessel’s commercial potential.
Quiet rigour, at the waterline.
The Aghora method treats safety and efficiency as a single ledger. Every finding is traced back to a specific regulatory clause, a measurable cost-of-risk, and a crew-level action — so owners don’t choose between compliance and commercial performance.
— 01 Attend
Sea-time first, paperwork second.
Every lead surveyor holds a current Master or Chief Engineer certificate. We climb the same ladders, open the same sounding pipes, and read the same oil-record books — not from a checklist, but from habit.
— 02 Reconcile
Findings mapped to consequence.
Observations are triangulated against class rules, flag-state policy and the charter party. Each item is costed — detention risk, off-hire exposure, premium drift — so your response can be prioritised with the CFO in the room.
— 03 Close Out
Reports that move a ship.
Deliverables are drafted to be used, not filed: photo-evidenced, geo-tagged, and paired with close-out templates the crew can actually work through in a single port call.
- Leadership
“A ship that is safe is almost always a ship that is profitable. Our job is to prove that, line by line, on every attendance.”
