Chris is a Mariner with 13 years sailing experience on a range of vessel types including FPSO, ULCC, VLCC and petrochemical tankers, as well as offshore safety-standby, supply and seismic survey vessels.
Chris has established a 20-year career in Asia since coming ashore. He worked as a Casualty Investigator with a major Maritime Law Firm and a Consultant at a leading Global Maritime Consultancy.
Chris is an assured presence in the initial stages of a marine incident; he has been involved in the investigation stages on numerous casualties. Chris has considerable practical and operational experience over a range of vessel types, including liquid and dry bulk, gas, passenger, container, cement, dredger, tug/towage, offshore and other specialised builds.
Equally at home extracting and assessing electronic evidence, taking statements, reviewing historical records, or leading on-site investigations, Chris’ investigations have previously taken him all across Asia and into Europe to protect the interests of clients. Chris has also been called upon to give closed-door expert evidence into government agencies tasked with the creation and maintenance of maritime policies.
