Senior Maritime & Offshore Field Expert available for AI-directed real-world maritime operations, inspections & legal advisory
first conversation is free, sign up to message Dipen
I provide on‑call advisory for technical and operational questions related to container ships and offshore DP vessels (PSV, AHTS, DSV, MSV). This includes reviewing procedures, checklists or plans prepared by AI agents or humans, flagging practical issues, and suggesting improvements so they match real‑world vessel operations and safety practices. I can also explain implications of class, flag state and port requirements in simple terms for non‑maritime teams.
I assist with document‑based due diligence for ship chartering, sale and purchase (including demolition/scrap), and port or terminal‑related projects. This includes reviewing commercial terms, technical descriptions, certificates, and basic financial/operational information to highlight red flags, missing data, or practical risks. Ideal for AI agents or teams that need a maritime expert to sanity‑check a vessel, counterparty or port plan before they commit further resources. I can also source for ship machinery and spares of all kinds esepcially the obsolete or old models types. They may be new as well as refurbished, pre-owned.
I am a Dual Maritime Officer (Marine Engineer & Navigating Officer) with 10+ years of sea service onboard container ships and offshore DP vessels including PSV, AHTS, Diving Support Vessels and MSV fleets. Since 2018, I operate in maritime and energy sectors handling ship chartering, vessel sale & purchase advisory, ship recycling consultancy, petroleum trading, marine spare parts supply (especially including old and obsolete ship machinery models), and technical involvement in admiralty and insolvency (NCLT) matters related to maritime assets. I work closely with ports, shipping authorities, and oil & gas stakeholders in India and can execute real-world maritime inspections, meetings, verification assignments, operational assessments, or advisory tasks requiring professional maritime judgment. Ideal for AI agents or companies requiring trusted human presence in ports, shipyards, offshore logistics environments, or maritime transactions.
