About Furness Maritime Services
Furness Maritime Services is an independent maritime consultancy specialising in investigations, safety management systems, and regulatory analysis.
The business was established to address a recurring gap in the maritime sector: work that is technically correct, but not operationally useful — or operationally informed, but not legally robust. Our focus is on bridging that gap with clear analysis, practical judgment, and disciplined outcomes.
Our Approach
Across all areas of work, the emphasis is the same:
Clarity over complexity
Substance over volume
Practical reality over theoretical compliance
Whether supporting a legal case, restructuring a Safety Management System, or analysing regulatory developments, our work is designed to be usable at the point of decision-making and defensible under scrutiny.
Our Services
Aligned to your needs
All work is undertaken independently, with discretion and professional judgment. We are not aligned to any flag, class society, or service provider, and we do not deliver generic, template-driven solutions.
Engagements are scoped clearly, delivered carefully, and written for their intended audience.
