  • Condition surveys of all Pullmantur vessels.
  • Compliance and consulting for Ritz Carlton new build Evirma.
  • Dry dock safety assessment for Royal Caribbean Group.
  • Risk assessment for several of the Norwegian Cruise Line scrubber installations.
  • Condition surveys of several Military Sealift vessels, 
  • Pre-purchase surveys of the Hapag Lloyd cruise fleet. 
  • Dry Dock & USCG Compliance of the US-flagged coastal cruise ship America.

Here are the services RMS can provide to you and your team:

  • Surveying Services:  RMS has a combined 75+ years of experience in surveying and inspecting vessels of all types worldwide.  Our highly knowledgeable and experienced surveyors are a valuable asset to any team or company.  We have completed compliance surveys, pre-purchase surveys, and valuations on a variety of vessels, including newbuild and operational cruise ships, small US passenger vessels, military, and civilian cargo ships.  We will provide the confidence you need when investing in your existing fleet or purchasing a new vessel.


  • Audit Services:  RMS is certified to conduct internal audits for your vessels and company.  We have assisted companies like Residensea, Royal Caribbean Group, and others in creating or rewriting Safety Policies and Procedures.  We can provide in-depth audits and detailed reporting to ensure your company and vessels are operating as per your Safety Management System and ready for your external audit.


  • Environmental Services:  RMS has conducted comprehensive and effective environmental compliance audits worldwide.  Our years of operational and regulatory enforcement provides our environmental teams with a unique perspective that is key in identifying vulnerabilities onboard your vessels as well as gaps in policies and procedures.  We can ensure positive and productive changes to your environmental culture, thereby reducing the risk of possible future violations.


  • Project Management:  RMS has supported multiple ship managers during extensive dry dock projects by leading or integrating with the existing project team.  This support included planning, budgeting, and oversight to ensure the on-time and on-budget completion of these vital projects.  By effectively utilizing years of leadership and management skills, RMS coordinated day-to-day activities ensured the completion of urgent tasks, and implemented cost-saving measures in coordination with the ship management team.


  • Consulting Services:  Drawing on our operational and regulatory experiences, RMS has assisted clients by conducting project risk assessments and managing the large volume of documentation and drawings that require Class and Flag approval.  Utilizing their experience as Class surveyors, the team provided urgently needed support identifying the causal factors that resulted in critical welding failures during a scrubber installation project.

RMS Testimonials

 Vicki Porter - Owner passenger vessel "Americana" I cannot say enough good things about this company! I have limited experience in the shipping industry but they lead my company and ship through getting a COI and new 5 year load line on a vessel recently! They are honest, have integrity and professionalism to the max unlike many others I've encountered in this industry! They are on the side of the owner, never waiver or deceitful. If you want things done right I highly recommend Reliable Maritime Solutions! 

Stephen Nicholas MSc, CEng:  Charlie is a very experienced Marine professional with a lot of experience. I have worked with Charlie on Cruise Ship New Building and sea trials and can say with all certainty that if Charlie says he will do something, you can always rely on him delivering very good solutions to complex problems. 

 Glenn Kolk: I am a maritime lawyer with decades of passenger vessel transaction experience. I could not agree more with Ms. Porter.  Charlie and his team are the best there is. Like Charlie, I have a Coast Guard start to my career, but that's not a bias regarding my opinion, it's a qualification standard. 

  Jose Guillermo Lachapel Santos :  I worked with Charlie in Freeport , Grand Bahamas during my time as General Manager in Viva Wyndham Fortuna Beach. It was a real honor to work with him. 

 Takis Kyriakides:  Charlie Kinnear and George Zeitler from Reliable Maritime Solutions “RMS” has helped many cruise ships where others have failed to advise and complete projects properly!
