Maritime Safety Services

What Maritime Safety Services does

Maritime Safety Services is a Casablanca-based, privately held service provider founded in 2019 that delivers inspection, maintenance, load testing, and certification of maritime and offshore safety equipment across all Moroccan ports and selected North and West African markets, including Algeria and Tunisia. Its operations target two primary verticals: maritime vessel operators and shipping companies, and offshore oil and gas facilities, addressing regulatory requirements under IMO MSC circulars, the SOLAS Convention, and the FSS Code.

The company operates five interconnected service lines: lifeboat, rescue boat and launching appliances; fire fighting appliances; life saving appliances; inspection and load testing of cranes, hatches, and hold covers; and inspection and load testing of accommodation ladders and gangways. Service delivery relies on in-house proprietary testing assets — most notably cylinder-shaped water bags and load cells — that allow uniform force distribution and function testing of deployment winch systems, alongside certified personnel trained by major OEMs. The business is ISO 9001:2015 certified and holds approvals as a service provider from main classification societies and from leading manufacturers of lifeboats, release gears, and davits, which is the principal source of commercial authorization for SOLAS-compliant work.

Commercially, Maritime Safety Services runs a direct B2B field-sales model with quote-based pricing, sending certified engineers and technicians on-shore and off-shore to client vessels and facilities. Marketing is limited to the company website and direct phone/email contact, and the firm is privately owned with no disclosed institutional investors, M&A, or funding history.
