Who We Are
Trusted eyes on your vessel, anywhere in the world.
MaxMarine & Transport Inc is a marine surveying and consultancy practice serving shipowners, managers, charterers, P&I clubs, underwriters and cargo interests. We attend all vessel types — tankers, dry cargo and bulk, containers, RO-RO, passenger, specialised cargo and offshore support units.
