The people you'll work with.
Ben Barton
- Co-Founder & Naval Architect
Ben is a qualified Naval Architect with extensive experience across yacht design, commercial vessel stability and digital survey. With a background as a Yacht Captain, he brings a practical understanding of life at sea to every project - ensuring solutions work in the real world, not just on paper.
Oliver Graffy
- Co-Founder & Survey Lead
Ollie leads the technical survey operation - from deploying cutting-edge laser scanning equipment in confined ship tanks to processing complex point cloud datasets for delivery to global clients. His approach is methodical, thorough and focused on delivering data that is immediately useful.
- Experience & Credentials
Qualified. Certified. Experienced.
Our credentials are not just certificates on a wall - they are the foundation of how we work and the reason clients trust us with technically demanding, commercially sensitive projects.
Cyber Essentials Plus
Government-backed certification confirming that our IT systems and data handling practices meet the highest security standards. Essential for clients in defence, government supply chains and enterprise procurement.
Qualified Naval Architects
Formally qualified in naval architecture, providing the technical authority to sign off stability analyses, hull assessments and class submissions - something only a small number of survey companies in the UK can offer.
Working at Height
Certified for working at height in marine environments, allowing us to deploy survey equipment on scaffolding, masts, rigs and superstructures safely and compliantly.
Confined Space Entry
Trained and certificated for confined space entry, enabling us to conduct tank scanning, void space surveys and internal structural inspections that other survey companies cannot safely access.
Worldwide Deployment
We travel globally to survey vessels and marine assets wherever they are - on charter, in dry dock, or at remote facilities. Fast mobilisation and minimal disruption to vessel schedules.
MCA & Class Experience
Extensive experience preparing documentation for MCA, Lloyd's Register and other class societies. We understand what flag states and surveyors require and we present data accordingly.
