Compliance Audits

In modern maritime operations, compliance audits are indispensable. Ships and crews are required to demonstrate adherence not only to international ISO conventions, MARPOL environmental standards, industry codes, but also to the rigorous U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). Beyond paperwork, regulators and courts now demand evidence of effective crew training, behavioral assessment, and operational readiness, which makes thorough and independent audits essential to protect both safety and legal standing.

At OceanEx, our ISO Lead auditors, internal auditors, Master Mariners, and Chief Engineers deliver independent, court-recognized audits designed to ensure regulatory conformity, legal defensibility, and operational integrity. We conduct environmental audits under MARPOL and U.S. statutes, full-scope ISM, ISPS, and MLC audits, technical audits, and specialized Mooring and Navigation audits in accordance with OCIMF and SOLAS standards. Where required, we are also competent Court Appointed Monitors and Third Party Auditors under U.S. Environmental Compliance Plans, providing impartial oversight with transparency and precision.

Our audits extend beyond compliance checks and include comprehensive crew training, behavioral assessments, and operational drills, ensuring that safety management systems are not only compliant on paper but thoroughly embedded in practice, serving as a strategic safeguard, strengthening environmental accountability, enhancing crew readiness, and protecting your reputation and assets.
