 As
marine consultants
we regularly undertake a
very wide variety of instructions, from hire fleet operators and navigation
authorities to television program makers and pyrotechnic companies.
Repeated
instructions come from companies wishing to solve marine based problems or
wishing to assess product suitability for the marine market or marine
environment or from companies wishing to move into new marine markets. This
type of instruction can be very varied and has included a request for
assistance with the production of an amphibious vehicle to assistance with
the development of a marine equipment plant hire company.
Film
and Television program makers are often aware that they require specialist
knowledge when making programs on or around boats and water. We have
undertaken a broad scope of responsibilities from a wide variety of program
makers, for an equally wide variety of program types, from soap operas and
commercials to documentaries and films. In recognition of this we have been
included as a member of the film and media development agency and are
regularly invited to deliver feedback to the agency on general and marine
based issues. [Link

We
have frequently received instruction from a number pyrotechnics companies
with regard to the production of fireworks displays, particularly from
floating platforms and moving craft. This can range from the safety
assessment of a particular craft to the design of suitable launch platform
configurations.
As
general marine consultancy can be very diverse we have had a large number of
approaches where we have considered the consultancy to be outside of our
areas of expertise. In such instances we are keen to assist the client in
seeking suitable alternatives. However the co-ordination of a number of
specialist experts through one consultant has sometimes been sought by the
client and we have successfully carried this commission. |
