Technical Services
A conversion that needs engineering, a casualty that needs an accurate damage assessment, a dispute that needs a technical opinion: these are the cases we handle. Liva Marine works with naval architects and marine engineers on design, casualty investigation and technical support in claims.

- Conversion projects, technical specifications and technical manuals
- Feasibility studies and technical evaluations

How it works
Send a brief
Send a short description of the project or incident with the ship's name and IMO number. For a casualty, include the vessel's current location.
Agree the scope
We clarify what is needed and set out in writing the scope of the design, survey or expert work and the deliverables.
Survey and engineering
Where needed, the ship is attended on board or at the yard, and calculations, drawings and specifications are prepared.
Report and follow-up
Findings are reported, and technical follow-up continues through the repair, salvage or dispute process.
Why Liva Marine
Design to casualty in one place
Design work, casualty investigation and claims support run through the same contact, so information is not lost between parties.
Alongside flag and class
Liva Marine also handles flag registration and class, so technical work can be planned together with the ship's registry and survey requirements.
250+ ships since 2014
Since 2014 our Istanbul team has served more than 250 ships for over 50 clients.
Frequently asked questions
What does a marine casualty investigation cover?
It covers on-site attendance with an initial damage assessment, identifying salvage, towage, temporary repair and cargo transhipment needs, and liaising with local authorities. Repairs are then monitored from the specification through to the final repair bill.
Can you provide engineering for a ship conversion?
Yes. For conversion projects we can prepare preliminary, basic and structural design, technical specifications and feasibility studies. The scope is agreed with you based on the project brief.
Do you provide technical expert support in arbitration?
Yes. We provide technical support in arbitration and other forms of alternative dispute resolution, including technical expert evidence where required.
What information do you need for a damage assessment?
The ship's name and IMO number, the date and a short description of the incident, the vessel's current location and any photos are enough for a first review. Details of the underwriters or P&I club also help.
Write to us
