Technical Inspection
For a defined technical question about one system, area, or piece of equipment on a vessel — not engine-room-specific — addressed through a focused inspection.

Who This Service Is For
Shipowners and technical managers who need an independent technical opinion on a vessel condition question, an operational decision, or a specific project matter, without necessarily requiring a full attendance survey.
When It Is Needed
When a technical question needs an outside, independent read before a decision is made — a condition query, an operational judgement call, or a project-specific concern that falls short of requiring a full survey.
What Is Covered
Technical advice grounded in hands-on chief-engineer experience, covering vessel condition, machinery and operational matters, and project-level questions, scoped to what is asked and, where useful, supported by direct attendance.
What Is Not Covered
As a solo, chief-engineer-led consultancy rather than a multi-discipline engineering firm, naval architecture and vessel design work, newbuilding supervision, and drydock project management fall outside current scope.
Independent, Owner-Aligned Advice
Advice is given on its technical merits, with no stake in which option the owner or manager ultimately chooses. Input is provided directly by Apeks Marine, not routed through a third party.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Marine Technical Consultancy cover?
Independent technical advice on vessel condition, operational matters, or a specific project question — provided as a considered opinion rather than a full attendance survey, though attendance can be arranged where useful to the question at hand.
Who typically requests this service?
Shipowners and technical managers who want an independent second opinion on a technical question — condition, operational, or project-related — before making a decision, rather than a full survey report.
Does this replace a full marine survey or condition survey?
Not necessarily. Consultancy is suited to a specific question or decision; where a full physical inspection and structured survey report are needed, a Marine Survey or Condition Survey is the more appropriate service. The two can also be combined where a survey informs the advice given.
What is outside the scope of this service?
As a solo chief-engineer-led consultancy, Apeks Marine advises on vessel condition, operations, and project-level technical questions. It does not provide naval architecture or vessel design services, newbuilding supervision, or drydock project management.
How quickly can consultancy input be arranged?
For matters concerning vessels calling Mersin, Adana, or İskenderun, input can typically be arranged on short notice; for wider Türkiye-based assignments, timing is subject to scope and schedule.
