ABOUT US

Our company
LOC (London Offshore Consultants) was established in 1979 to provide independent, high quality marine and engineering consultancy and survey services to the shipping and offshore oil and gas industries. From our beginnings in the City of London, we have grown to become an international multi-disciplinary organisation, 100% owned by our management and staff, with offices strategically located in 12 countries around the world.

Our business
Our business is focused on all aspects of transportation and construction in the marine environment, and upon the accidents and casualties that can sometimes occur during the course of such activities. We have a unique blend of diverse technical skills, expertise and practical knowledge within the organisation that allows us to provide this range of specialist services, and we are a recognized leader in our chosen areas of business.

Our clients
Our clients include P&I Clubs, underwriters of offshore construction, transportation and marine special risks as well as Hull and Machinery and other marine insurance interests, energy companies and contractors, shipowners and charterers, admiralty lawyers, cargo interests and government bodies. Many of these are long standing relationships, developed over the years, and founded not only on our technical and professional capabilities but also upon our consistent ability to respond swiftly in circumstances requiring urgent attention, such as major marine casualties.

Our guiding principles
We consider our most important assets to be our people, our independence and our reputation. Our continued success as a company is testament to the quality, integrity and professionalism of our personnel and to their dedication, hard work and commitment to serving the best interests of our clients. These attributes are the key elements of the company ethos and form the core of the principles by which we approach every aspect of our business.
