PMSC Compliance

Navigating the requirements of the Port and Marine Facilities Safety Code can be challenging – especially for smaller ports, Marinas or harbours without dedicated compliance staff. Rockwell Marine Services offers structured, remote compliance support including PMSC gap analysis, Marine Safety Management System (MSMS) reviews, and audit preparation. We can assess your current procedures, identify areas of risk or non-conformance, and provide clear, actionable recommendations to bring your port in line with the Code and the Guide to Good Practice.

Incident Investigation and Root Cause Analysis

When incidents occur, understanding what happened – and why – is essential to prevent recurrence and satisfy external scrutiny. Rockwell provides independent, remote-led incident investigations, offering detailed root cause analysis, regulatory reporting, and practical recommendations for improvement. With formal training in port accident investigation and experience across commercial and defence ports, we ensure your investigation is structured, compliant, and constructive –  protecting both your people and your reputation.

Navigational & Operational Risk Management

A robust approach to Navigational risk is key to protecting your harbour, vessels, and users. Using your local data, charts, and operating procedures, we remotely conduct thorough navigational and operational risk assessments tailored to your environment. We specialise in reviewing pilotage plans, vessel movement records, and marine traffic data to help you maintain safety, manage liability, and demonstrate compliance to regulators. Site visits are available where needed, but most assessments can be efficiently delivered remotely..

Workboat & Commercial Vessel Management

Rockwell Marine Services offers specialist consultancy for operators of workboats and commercial vessels, helping ensure safe, efficient, and regulation-compliant operations. We support companies in developing and maintaining Safety Management Systems (SMS) aligned with applicable codes such as the Workboat Code, Small Commercial Vessel Code, and relevant MCA standards. Our remote-first service includes the creation and review of operational procedures, risk assessments, and emergency plans tailored to vessel type and operation. We also provide ongoing support to help operators prepare for external audits and flag or class inspections – ensuring readiness for DoC certification or revalidation. Whether you’re launching a new venture or refining your compliance processes, Rockwell delivers practical, scalable solutions to meet your obligations and protect your crew, vessels, and reputation.
