Independent marine inspection, trusted worldwide
RK Marine Services is a UAE-based marine inspection and vetting company helping oil majors and principals keep vessels compliant, accepted and safe — covering all ports in the world.
A dependable partner for the inspections that decide whether your vessel trades.
Talk to our teamVetting acceptance has become a commercial gatekeeper. A poor result with an oil major can quietly close trading opportunities that are difficult to reopen. RK Marine Services was founded to give our principals an honest, evidence-based picture of their vessel — and a clear path to a clean result.
We bring together experienced mariners and accredited inspectors across every major vetting regime — SIRE 2.0, OVID, RightShip, CDI and IMCA CMID — under a single accountable team. From our hubs in the UAE, Singapore and India we attend vessels at ports and offshore fields worldwide, mobilising quickly to keep your schedule intact.
Whatever the flag, cargo or port, our promise is the same: rigorous, impartial inspections and support that continues until every observation is closed.
Our mission
To protect our clients' ratings, revenue and reputation with independent inspections they can act on — delivered to a consistent standard, wherever in the world we attend.
Our vision
