Testimonials
"When taking on the passage planning for the eXXpedition Round the World expedition, we had to look at the logistics for maintaining the vessel and equipment onboard over the 2-year trip to meet MCA Cat 0 requirements. Ocean Safety were incredibly helpful, with many service stations worldwide they were able to recommend a service plan for our liferafts and equipment onboard to ensure we would have no delays.
We have fast turnarounds to ensure we make our weather windows and the knowledge that we have Ocean Safety supporting us with the hire scheme means that we will have the highest standard of life rafts onboard, in date at all times, with no hidden costs. It's a huge relief.
This has now become particularly important, as due to Coronavirus, Ocean Safety were able to help re-arrange shipment to one of their service stations to ensure that when we do get going again, we will be ready with all of our liferafts serviced and a new service plan for the now 3-year voyage."
