The Standard of Maritime Truth

“The maritime industry demands absolute precision. A single overlooked structural flaw or misinterpreted clause can cost millions. With over three decades of specialized experience in naval architecture, marine surveying, and judicial expertise, I established Prop Trust Marine™ to provide an unassailable standard of technical truth. Whether we are assessing a 20-meter yacht in the Mediterranean or a commercial vessel in the Caribbean, our methodology remains the same: rigorous, independent, and legally defensible.”
