Ready for sea,on paper and on deck.

Oceanwide surveys, audits and certifies Philippine ships on behalf of the Coast Guard, OTS and MARINA, and trains the crews who sail them.

We inspect the part of the ship nobody sees.

As a MARINA-accredited underwater surveyor, our divers examine plating, propeller and rudder in the water, so a Philippine-registered ship can be issued or extend its Certificate of Inspection without going into dry dock.

It is one of the statutory jobs the Philippine Administration trusts us to do on its behalf, carried out by naval architects, marine engineers and master mariners.
