Marine Inspector careers
A Marine Inspector is responsible for ensuring the safety, compliance, and operational efficiency of vessels and marine equipment. This role involves inspecting ships, offshore platforms, and other marine structures to verify adherence to national and international regulations, including safety standards and environmental laws.
Marine Inspectors conduct detailed examinations of hulls, machinery, and safety systems, identifying defects or non-compliance issues and recommending corrective actions. They often collaborate with shipowners, regulatory bodies, and classification societies, preparing comprehensive reports and certificates to confirm vessels meet all required standards. Strong knowledge of maritime legislation, engineering principles, and safety protocols is essential, alongside excellent attention to detail and communication skills.
