We are a team of Consultant Naval Architects and Mechanical Engineers, exclusive representatives of marine and industrial concerns worldwide. Based on our technical excellence and a management philosophy of integrity and dedication, we at Abacus Marine Consultants offer prompt, competent and valuable support to our Principals and clients.

We at Abacus Marine Consultants have decided to only provide our dedicated services to few and carefully selected Principals that do not pose any conflict of interest. The special rapport that exists between our company and the marine & industrial concerns that we represent, reflects on the quality of services we provide to shipowners and the industry.
