Fast and professional solutions for reasonable and predictable pricingCMS LTD started by offering overhaul and repair of diesel engines of any make and model, and expanded its services

in the following years with Ultrasonic Wall Thickness Measurement (class approved) and NDT services, as well as spare

part supply and head hunting marine and offshore professionals. The company is ISO 9001 accredited and the newest

service in our portfolio is ship and asset management to our clients. This closes the loop and brings us back to our core

Due to the 30 years of management experiencein the shipping industry, CMS LTD has builtgood relationships with stockists and suppliersof OEM and genuine technical spares.

These relationships, in connection to our library of service

manuals, spare part catalogues and manufacturers

updates combined with the expertise of our senior

supervising engineers, enables CMS LTD to offer a spare

parts ordering advice service. This means if we receive the

engine or equipment data and the purpose of the overhaul

or repair from the client, we can prepare a list of suggested

spares to be ordered; of course the client has final approval

and is able to order/cancel whichever items they please.

We can offer the above service and supply for any make

and model of diesel machinery and marine technical

equipment, but our core expertise is with the

manufacturers listed in the table on page three.

Our company is approved by GermanischerLloyd, Bureau Veritas, RINA, Det NorskeVeritas, Lloyds Register and the AmericanBureau of Shipping to carry out ultrasonic wallthickness measurements for class survey andrepair purposes.

Our employees are trained as UT supervisors in

accordance with ISO Standard 9712 Level 2 and as UT

operators in accordance with Level 1 standards. Our

employees are also experienced marine engineers and

can use their skills to prepare exact repair

specifications, as well as the UT reports required for

class renewal or survey.

Our teams are completely independent and are not

attached to a particular shipyard. We can join the

vessel well in advance and can take most of the

measurements required by class before your vessel

arrives in the dry dock, if the scope of survey is

known. This gives you the advantage of being able to

quote for exact steel exchange requirements.

We are using the latest UT wall thickness measurement

equipment from SONOTEC, which allows us, due to its

multiple echo technology, to measure the wall thickness

without destroying the protective coating. Our pricing

will convince you – for pricing information, see

UT wall thickness measurement

Ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) isonly one discipline in the field of non-destructive testing (NDT).

Clever Marine Services Ltd has dedicated its training of

personnel to higher UT qualifications and all other

disciplines of NDT since the end of 2011. This was the

logical next step because of our location in the Isle of

Man, which is only hours away from offshore and

marine centres such as Aberdeen, Liverpool, Tyne and

Wear, Hamburg and Rotterdam, as well as the UK and

Scandinavian offshore exploration shelf.

In the meantime, Clever Marine can offer the following

NDT disciplines for the listed purposes:

• NDT/UT technology: weld inspections, flaws and

laminations, material testing;

• Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI): weld

inspections, fatigue and stress cracking and

surface cracks resulting from whatever

reason; and

• Liquid Particle Inspection (LPI): weld inspections,

fatigue and stress cracking and surface cracks

resulting from whatever reason.

Clever Marine Services Ltd firmly believes in the proper

motivation of personnel, state-of-the-art training for

them and the use of the most modern tools and

equipment, resulting in excellent service for our clients.

CMS Ltd currently uses the following equipment for

their NDT services:

• UTM – SONOWALL 60;

• NDT/UT – SONOTEC ST 10;

• MPI – HELLING AC/DC yokes and permanent

magnets; and

• LPI – Helling, fluorescent and non-fluorescent liquid

particle inspection chemicals.

Superintendence &project management

All our superintendents have at least eightyears’ experience in ship management andwere in charge of a fleet of container ships,mini-bulkers and general cargo vessels for amedium-sized ship management company.

During that time, we gained vast experience in pre-

purchase surveys and condition surveys. We have

carried out over 35 pre-purchase surveys for our clients

and at least 100 condition surveys.

We are also able to carry out such surveys in

conjunction with possible yard and repair

specifications and estimates. Clients use our services

to survey a vessel before purchasing it, with cost

implication in mind if any upgrades, improvements or

repairs are planned. We are also used to surveying

vessels close to, or more than, 20 years of age and

preparing an economically-driven estimate of

necessary upgrades and repairs.

We are also preparing our condition surveys, including a

list of suggested priorities of the required improvements.

This can be used as guidance for the crew and as a

control tool by the vessel’s superintendent or manager.

Please contact us with any requests, and we will try our

utmost to find a fast, competitively-priced and

professional solution.

We can offer the above services due to the fact

that we have three ISM auditor certificates from

Lloyds Register, as well as one company

security officer certificate within our team.

The team has also developed a shipboard safety

management manual, including a crewing and manning

manual, as well as a ship security plan, which were all

approved by DNV and GL.

During the beginning of 2013, the team of Clever Marine

Services Ltd completed a crewing and manning manual

(CMM) compliant to MLC 2006, which already passed

MLC Audits under the below listed flags. The MLC

compliant CMM can also be easily adapted to suit

existing shipboard safety management manuals, in

accordance with the ISM code.

The team can perform ISM, ISPS or other required

audits for our clients, and is also experienced in

performing port and vessel feasibility studies and

similar tasks.
