GRAMAR is an owner-led maritime technical services practice founded on expertise, flexibility, and professional accountability. The company is personally managed and operated by its owner, ensuring direct involvement, clear communication, and full responsibility for every project undertaken.
Rather than operating as a large, rigid organization, GRAMAR is built around a flexible and highly experienced network of maritime professionals, assembled on a project-by-project basis. Depending on the technical scope and specific requirements, dedicated teams of naval architects, marine engineers, surveyors, and specialists are engaged under contractual arrangements. This approach allows GRAMAR to deliver the right expertise at the right time—without compromise.
This structure provides clients with a unique advantage: the focus, accountability, and efficiency of a single point of contact, combined with the technical depth and multidisciplinary capability of a broader engineering team. There is no unnecessary hierarchy, no dilution of responsibility, and no delay caused by internal bureaucracy. Each project is managed directly by the owner, from initial assessment through final delivery.
The Owner is member of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), London, United Kingdom — a globally respected professional body in naval architecture and marine engineering. This professional affiliation reflects GRAMAR’s commitment to engineering integrity, continuous professional development, and adherence to globally recognized principles of naval architecture and marine engineering.
In addition to the commitment to the engineering approach, GRAMAR attaches great importance to the production base of quality craftsmen, therefore the owner has several master qualifications (shipbuilder, electrician, plumber, heating and air conditioning installer, …).
GRAMAR’s operational philosophy is simple: there is no problem in the marine industry that cannot be addressed with the right expertise, experience, and professional discipline. By combining personal leadership with a trusted network of specialists, GRAMAR delivers reliable, precise, and class-ready solutions tailored to each client’s needs.
Whether supporting newbuild projects, refits, conversions, or existing vessels requiring updated documentation, GRAMAR offers a pragmatic, technically sound, and client-focused approach—built on trust, competence, and results.
