An independent reading of your digital transformation position — fleet management systems, port community system integration, DCSA standards alignment — in writing, from a Cyprus-based advisor who knows the sector.
Shipping and ship management technology has genuine momentum right now — DCSA standards adoption, fleet management platform consolidation, port community system integration — and the pace of change makes it easy to invest in the wrong sequence, or in systems that don’t actually talk to each other. What you don’t have is an independent reading of where your technology genuinely stands relative to where the sector is heading.
That is what this engagement is.
€15,000. Three to four weeks. Delivered in writing, with a presentation to whoever needs to hear it.
Fixed fee. No implementation work. No commissions. No product recommendations influenced by suppliers.
Why clients commission this review
- The board wants an independent view of where the fleet’s technology stands against DCSA standards adoption and where the sector is genuinely heading.
- Port community system integration has grown ad hoc, port by port, and no one has a consolidated view of the actual integration landscape.
- A digital transformation budget is being proposed and the board wants independent confirmation it’s sequenced sensibly before approving it.
- New commercial or regulatory pressure — a charterer’s data requirements, an emissions reporting obligation — has exposed gaps in the current technology estate.
Who this is for
Boards and technical directors at shipping and ship management companies planning or reviewing a digital transformation programme.
Owners wanting an independent view of fleet technology maturity relative to where the sector is heading, from someone who has read the sector’s specific technical standards closely.
Who this is not for
Operators wanting fleet management or PCS integration built or implemented. We identify and recommend; we do not implement.
Buyers or investors evaluating a maritime services acquisition target — that’s Technology Due Diligence, with different scope.
What you receive
The Review tells you three things in writing: where your technology genuinely stands, where the sector-specific priorities are, and what to address first. Five artefacts, delivered together, in plain language.
A scored technology reading. Fleet management systems, PCS integration, and DCSA standards alignment assessed with evidence, against where the sector is genuinely heading.
An integration landscape map. Every port community system and fleet management integration currently in place, mapped in one place for the first time.
A risk register sorted by business impact. Every material gap identified, ranked by what it means for the business commercially and operationally.
A prioritised roadmap. What to address first, second, third, sequenced across the next year.
A board presentation. A one-hour session with your board or technical committee, findings presented, challenged, and discussed in the room.
How the Review runs
Three to four weeks, in four phases: scoping and inventory, interviews and evidence gathering across technical, commercial, and operational stakeholders, synthesis and writing, then presentation and revisions around your board cycle.
Everything is written before it is said. Nothing is presented to your board that you have not read first.
What this is not
An implementation engagement. We identify and recommend; we do not implement.
A narrow vendor concentration audit. For that specific focus, see the Supplier & Dependency Review.
