About Us
Investigate, Evaluate and Resolve
Every year, tens of thousands of marine casualties and incidents occur causing significant property damage and loss of human lives. Our primary objective is to leverage our technical expertise to help our clients in enhancing safety and finding optimal solutions.
At Sea & Gao, we conduct forensic investigations into the marine and offshore incidents employing a scientific approach. This includes site inspections, samplings, laboratory testing, computer modelling and sea trials. Furthermore, we assess design, installation, and operational aspects, scrutinize compliance with international standards, rules, and regulations, provide independent root cause analyses, and opine on potential remedies and repairs.
In our capacity as Expert Witnesses, we assist Courts and tribunals across various jurisdictions, utilizing state-of-the-art numerical techniques and high-performance computations.
Additionally, we are entrusted as Expert Determiners or Arbitrators to expedite the resolution of international disputes in a cost-effective manner. Our working languages are both English and Chinese.
