Know what we do

Naval engineering and technical consulting

Why are risk analyses necessary in the naval sector?

Shipbuilding projects are becoming increasingly complex and integrate new technologies that are sometimes little known in the maritime field. Classification societies, flag administrations and shipowners themselves are increasingly demanding that the corresponding risk analyses be carried out.

Nowadays, the implementation of new fuels on board (LNG, ethanol, ammonia, etc.), new propulsion technologies (high speed, dynamic positioning, hybrid propulsion, etc.), require the different parties involved in the project to carry out a risk analysis.

ALTUM has specialised in the preparation of risk analyses, both in the design and construction phase and in the operation phase, with specialised technicians trained in the different methodologies (FMEA, FMECA, HazId, HazOp, Cause&Effect, Monte Carlo Analysis, etc.).

Learn about our specialization course in the fishing business.

Since 2014, in collaboration with the Spanish Maritime Institute (IME), ALTUM offers an online course, Expert in Fishing Business.

The main objective of the course is to provide participants with a specialisation in the management of a fishing company, offering a global vision of the business. The aim is for the student to acquire an updated perspective of the sector and to acquire the necessary knowledge to occupy positions of responsibility within a company. The course has an international character, with students from different countries (Argentina, Peru, Mexico, Spain, etc.), which allows students not only to broaden their specific knowledge of the sector, but also to exchange opinions. For more information you can access the IME website (IME Training), or contact us directly.
