Services

Ten disciplines. Tanker, LPG, navigation, charterparty performance, P&I, operational evidence, crisis response, maritime asset risk review and CAPA implementation assurance — all read through the lens of operational reality.

Led by command experience

The expertise comes first from the Master's chair.

OMRA is led by Captain Georgios Giannakouris, Master Mariner Class A. The advisory work is command-grounded: built on real shipboard decision-making, operational risk control, cargo operations, casualty response, SMS implementation and marine management experience.
