“We have worked with Times Marine for almost 2 years, during which time they have provided us with a timely and cost effective service to carry out Safety and Navigation Equipment Attestations onboard our fleet of work boats in Abu Dhabi. Their Surveyors are knowledgeable in their field and the reports issued have been sufficient for the NTA to provide UAE Navigation Licences for our vessels.”
Leo Pino, ESNAAD, Abu Dhabi

“Times Marine played an important role in supporting very active marine operations in relation to the Qatargas 3&4 offshore drilling and well completion programs in the period 2004 – 2011, successfully providing a wide range of services, including development of a comprehensive marine operations manual, and on-/ off-hire and intermediate surveys of the various vessels serving those programs.”
John Saker, Head of Contracts & Procurement, QatarGas 3&4 Joint Asset Development Team

“Times Marine has been our preferred survey company for over 3 years. To date, they have conducted numerous pre-purchase surveys on our behalf onboard tankers in the UAE and also further afield. Their reports are comprehensive and of a very good quality, which is obviously a reflection of the highly experienced Surveyors they employ. We have found their fees to be competitive and are happy with the friendly service they provide”.
Capt Hafedh Masri, Fleet Manager, Emirates Shipping LLC

“I was slightly reticent about using a “big ship” surveyor for a pre purchase inspection on an aging 42ft sloop for the leisure market. Any such concerns, however, quickly disappeared and I was delighted by the care and concern shown by Times Marine over the whole survey. It highlighted important structural issues that required attention and allowed me to negotiate sensibly on price and go ahead with the purchase in a more relaxed state of mind. I still worry about the small things when sailing but feel very comfortable in the knowledge my boat had a thorough structural inspection.”
Stephen Corley, Managing Director, epi International

“We have worked with Times Marine and their surveyors in the Middle East and South Africa for several years on a number of large projects. During this time Times Marine have assisted us in providing marine surveyors to undertake loading, securing and discharge surveys on a wide variety of heavy, oversized and/or specialised equipment. We have always received a first class service from the entire team at Times Marine, despite sometimes difficult and challenging circumstances and on some occasions short notice being provided. We have no difficulty in continuing to use the services of Times Marine in the future and hope to work together on numerous future projects.”
Robert Jull, Managing Director, L&J Group Services Ltd.

“During the past four years we have worked with Times Marine, they have consistently met our requirements for “On” and “Off” Hire Consumables and Bunker surveys. They offer a friendly and professional service with quick response times and Surveyors who are available at irregular hours and often at short notice. They are always willing to go that “extra mile”.
Christopher Brooks, Chartering/Operations, VM Marine International
