Maritime Services International has provided assistance in over 260 legal cases as expert witnesses.

OUR SOLUTION

MSI initially evaluated the documentary evidence available and prepared an initial advice. Subsequently the vessel was inspected and a first expert witness report was prepared. A second expert witness was then commissioned considering specific aspect of diving.
