Commercial Awareness.

Command experience informs the questions asked onboard: what works, what is deferred, what the records show and what the next owner may inherit.

Each assignment is agreed around the vessel, the available access and the client's priorities. Navigation, safety, deck condition, documentation and operational readiness are reviewed within that scope.
