Shipping is a secretive, highly competitive and complex global service industry. Ship owners hide their assets by registering them in secretive jurisdictions through offshore registered companies. As such, the desired information is often scattered around the world and inaccessible to many as assets can be registered in one jurisdiction, with the bareboat charterer, manager and operator in yet another. The Information contained in shipping databases is not always up to date or complete and this is where Dynamar’s knowledge, expertise and network of industry sources proves invaluable.
The Marine Investigation department conducts all research on a case-by-case basis. Indeed, when necessary, it will hire local investigators to conduct searches of trade and land registers in difficult locations, search for and order official documents from ship registries and can spend more time talking to market sources to obtain as much information possible.
Unlike Business Information Reports, which are sold against a standard price, Marine Investigation will spend a number of pre-agreed hours on research and tailor the approach to the client’s individual needs. Only the time actually used is charged to the client, ensuring cost effectiveness. In addition, the Marine Investigation department likes to keep short lines of communication with the client in order to work as efficiently as possible and keep costs down.
Our clients include major Bunker Traders and Oil Companies, P&I Clubs and Law Firms, as well as large Carriers, Charterers and Ship owners. Additionally, the reports prepared by our department are regularly used by lawyers in court cases. As such, the department will always try to supply as much documentary evidence as possible with together the written report in order to present the strongest possible case. Delivery times will be agreed with the client in advance and will take into account the time needed to collect information from courts and registries in offshore jurisdictions.
Our dedicated investigators have extensive experience in shipping research and analysis worldwide. They are well connected in the market and extremely result-orientated. First and foremost, Dynamar guarantees that all cases are handled in a discrete and highly confidential manner to ensure and protect the privacy of our clients.
