Survey, Analysis & Complex Faultfinding
Electrical power and automation systems in modern ships and offshore installations are very complex and highly integrated. Accurate identification, isolation and rectification of complex faults is often difficult and requires a high level of skill and experience. We have access to a comprehensive range of skills covering the complete range of onboard systems from electrical power generation to PLC based control and automation systems.

Independent Specification, Design & Drawing Review
In order to protect owners and operators interests, especially in high value projects with significant technical and commercial risk, we can offer a wide range of independent third party design review, verification and validation services. This helps to ensure the efficacy and cost effectiveness of the proposed technical solution, that it meets customer expectation and is compliant with all of the relevant rules, regulations and requirements.

Project & Commercial Management
Effective project and commercial management is key to the avoidance of cost and schedule overrun and can only be carried out successfully if backed up by significant industry experience. Over the years we have observed all of the commercial and contractual problems that can arise in large and complex marine & offshore engineering projects. We are therefore well placed to offer robust project and commercial management services to protect our clients interests.

Owner/Client Representation & Site Management
Modern trends in cost reduction and lean management often mean that the client does not have 'in house' skills and experience in the marine electrical and automation field. We fill this skills gap and provide cost effective resources on a project by project basis freeing up the superintendent and technical managers from the electrical part of the project, allowing them to concentrate fully on their own specialist areas.

MEC has the experience and qualifications necessary to supervise all of the electrical workscope and arbitrate between various parties such as shipyard, contractors and manufacturers to ensure that the requirements of the owner, classification society, flag state, and HSE are met to consistently high standards.

 
 

Marine Guarantee & Claims Work
In extreme cases defects in design, equipment and systems may lead to significant loss of earnings and penalties for the owner or operator. This situation often results in dispute and requires independent third party technical analysis and investigation. Our technical experts have a strong track record of delivery and success in major marine claims resulting from such defects.

Factory & Customer Acceptance Testing
In order to ensure that equipment complies with client functional specifications and relevant industry codes, standards and rules we are often
requested to attend at Factory and Customer Acceptance Tests.

Competence & Skills Matching
The marine and offshore electrical and automation field covers a broad and quite diverse range of systems ranging from low power instrumentation and control to high power medium voltage electrical power generation, distribution and propulsion systems. A 'one size fits all' approach is often not possible or desirable as in order to provide effective and safe engineering services it is essential that the skills and experience of the engineer are matched to the particular field.

We have access to a wide knowledge base and specialists that can provide expert services in all fields of marine & offshore electrical & automation engineering.
