Chartered.Certified.On-site.
Ship & Shore Maritime Consultancies is a premier maritime engineering and consultancy firm headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates — one of the world's most dynamic maritime hubs.
We are founded on a singular conviction: that every maritime project deserves the highest standards of engineering rigour, regulatory compliance, and practical operational insight.
Our firm brings together expertise in naval architecture, structural engineering, marine surveying, offshore operations, and hydrodynamic analysis to deliver integrated technical solutions for vessels, offshore units, cargo operations, and maritime projects of all scales.
Established by a qualified Naval Architect with a passion for solving complex maritime engineering challenges.
Having worked across shipyards, offshore projects, and marine survey assignments in multiple countries, our founder recognised a clear gap in the UAE market for a boutique, technically specialised consultancy.
The region needed a practice that combines the depth of a large engineering firm with the responsiveness and personal engagement of an independent practice — where the partner picking up the phone is the same engineer stamping the drawings.
“Deliver technically excellent, internationally compliant, and commercially pragmatic maritime engineering solutions — empowering our clients to operate safely, efficiently, and confidently.”
“To be the most trusted and technically capable maritime consultancy in the Middle East — renowned for precision engineering and unwavering commitment to safety.”
Eight disciplines. One senior team.
Every engagement is led by a qualified engineer — not delegated to a junior. Here is the full scope of what we deliver.
