When your team is short on capacity or facing a peak in workload, Christian Machon steps in as an independent ISM auditor and experienced mariner, taking on most of the marine, technical or compliance tasks your team doesn't have time for.
Who you work with
Christian has worked on both sides of the table: on the bridge and in fleet management. He knows what an auditor looks for, what a superintendent has on their plate, and what it takes to close findings on board.
You get one experienced person who works to a clear scope, fits in with your own systems and templates, and hands the work back to your team when it's done.

Credentials
Services
Fixed prices where shown, travel at cost. Everything else is quoted to a clear scope before work starts.
On board or in the office, by a DNV-certified auditor independent of your organisation. Findings referenced to the Code and your own SMS, with the report within 48 hours.
Readiness inspections before SIRE, OVID or PSC, so you know what is likely to be raised and can fix it before the inspector boards.
From an IMCA SDPO's seat: a gap check before your annual DP trials or a charterer audit, covering documentation, competence and close-out of earlier findings.
Specification and yard-quote review before the docking, and follow-up during and after the yard period to keep scope and cost under control.
Updating your safety management system and procedures after audits, incidents or new regulations, written in your format and ready for your crews.
Independent, structured investigation of incidents and near misses, with root causes and corrective actions you can take into your own system.
Cover for a vacancy, leave or a peak in workload, stepping into the Designated Person Ashore, Company Security Officer or technical superintendent role.
Simple, hands-on AI tools for your office and fleet team (e.g. report drafting, document and SMS search, inspection and audit follow-up) to save time and resources.
Most marine, technical or compliance tasks your team doesn't have time for can be taken on. Send a short description and you'll get a clear scope and price back.

On board, in your office or remotely, planned around port calls and your team's schedule.
