What We Do

When Standard Solutions Don't Work

Offshore operations rarely follow the textbook. Weather changes, equipment fails, conditions evolve – and you need solutions that work in the real world, not just on paper.

That's where our problem-solving expertise comes in. With over 40 years of offshore experience, we've faced (and solved) the kinds of challenges that keep marine operations managers awake at night.

We bring practical, innovative thinking to complex offshore problems. Whether it's a technical challenge, an operational bottleneck, an equipment issue, or a situation that simply doesn't fit standard procedures – we can help.

Our approach combines decades of hands-on experience with creative problem-solving, always focusing on solutions that are safe, practical, and cost-effective.

Types of Problems We Solve

From technical challenges to operational issues, we tackle a wide range of offshore problems

Equipment Failures

When equipment breaks down offshore, you need creative solutions fast. We help troubleshoot, develop workarounds, and get operations back on track.

Operational Challenges

Procedures not working as planned? Operations inefficient? We analyze the situation and develop practical improvements.

Weather Constraints

Need to complete operations in challenging conditions? We help develop safe methods that work within weather limitations.

Safety Concerns

Identified a safety risk but not sure how to address it? We develop practical safety solutions that actually work offshore.

Cost Overruns

Projects going over budget? We identify inefficiencies and develop cost-effective alternatives that maintain quality and safety.

Unique Situations

Facing something you've never encountered before? We thrive on unusual challenges that require creative, out-of-the-box thinking.

Our Problem-Solving Approach

A methodical yet flexible process that delivers practical solutions

1

Understand the Problem

We dig deep to understand not just the surface issue, but the root cause. What's really going wrong? What constraints are you working within? What have you already tried?

  • Detailed analysis of the situation
  • Identification of constraints and limitations
  • Review of previous attempts and why they didn't work
2

Draw on Experience

40+ years offshore means we've likely seen similar challenges before. We apply lessons learned from decades of problem-solving in various offshore environments.

  • Reference similar situations from past experience
  • Identify what worked (and didn't work) in comparable scenarios
  • Apply offshore wisdom and practical knowledge
3

Develop Creative Solutions

We think outside the box while staying grounded in practical reality. Multiple options are considered, evaluated for feasibility, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

  • Brainstorm multiple potential solutions
  • Evaluate each option against your constraints
  • Focus on what will actually work in your situation
4

Test & Refine

We work through the solution mentally (and where possible, practically) to identify potential issues before implementation. Solutions are refined based on your feedback and circumstances.

  • Walk through implementation step-by-step
  • Identify potential pitfalls and address them
  • Adjust based on your specific circumstances
5

Support Implementation

We don't just hand you a solution and disappear. We're available to support you through implementation, troubleshoot issues, and make adjustments as needed.

  • Clear implementation guidance and documentation
  • Ongoing support during rollout
  • Adjustments if unexpected issues arise

Why Our Problem-Solving Works

The key differences that make our solutions effective

Real Experience

We've actually solved problems offshore, not just read about them. Our solutions come from hands-on experience in real conditions.

Practical Thinking

Solutions that look good on paper often fail in practice. We focus on what will actually work with your equipment, crew, and constraints.

Safety First

Every solution prioritizes crew safety. We never compromise on safety to solve operational problems.

Cost Conscious

We understand budget constraints. Solutions are designed to be cost-effective, avoiding unnecessary complexity or expense.

Quick Response

Offshore problems often need fast solutions. We respond quickly and can mobilize rapidly when time is critical.

Honest Feedback

If something won't work, we'll tell you. Our informal approach means straight talk and honest assessment of options.

Diligent Global Research

We use all available resources by every possible means to research your particular issue before beginning to formulate solutions. This includes case analysis of previous incidents from archives and modern tech such as AI.
