Our core service offerings
We provide comprehensive professional services tailored to the entire maritime ecosystem:
Sector expertise
Shipping
We serve a diverse portfolio of shipping clients, including international ferry carriers and commercial bulk operators.
- Specialised Tax: Irish tonnage tax calculation and structuring, UK tonnage tax, and US IRC S.883
- Benchmarking: Our position is underpinned by the unique annual vessel running costs benchmarking report, OpCost, which covers 25 vessel types across 12 cost categories, including crew, stores, repairs, insurance, and administration. The report provides detailed analysis of drydocking costs and durations.
Fishing
With over 50 years of experience, we support the fishing sector, primarily the whitefish pelagic fleet and ancillary industries such as chandlery providers and dry dock facility operators. We help clients navigate challenges like rising fuel costs and financing uncertainty.
Aquaculture
Supporting aquaculture requires a deep understanding of the biological aspects that drive technical accounting challenges, such as stock valuation and cost absorption. We act for fish farms, mussel farms, and well boat operators, and provide support in legal disputes involving aquaculture-related loss of profits.
Marine tourism
We offer expert consultancy on marine infrastructure projects, including marina developments, island ferry operations, sailing schools, and sea angling facilities.
Whether you need help with tax, accounting, or planning for the future, our expert team is ready to support you. Contact us today to discover how our maritime specialists can support your journey.
