What CryoSafe Services does
CryoSafe Services is a UK-headquartered cryogenic professional services firm that delivers operations, assurance, training, and project support for the global LNG marine sector. Founded in 2021 by Stephen Davidson and Grant Wintle — bringing combined decades of LNG experience from ICI, Shell, BP, and small-scale LNG bunker vessel delivery — the firm serves LNG terminals, ship-to-ship (STS) operations, LNG bunker operators, ports, shipyards, and vessel owners. Its core offerings include ship-to-ship LNG transfer operations (provision of certified mooring masters, LNG POACs with cargo endorsements, and STS superintendents), LNG bunkering support (from initial location assessment through Person-in-Charge operational support), terminal management/operations/maintenance across the asset lifecycle, Optimoor-based mooring and compatibility assessments, FEED/HAZID/HAZOP engineering, shipyard dry-dock and sea-trial oversight, gas-up/cooldown services, operations manuals and procedures, and bespoke LNG training courses.
The business is operated as a relationship-driven B2B professional services practice rather than a software or product company. Revenue is generated through quote-based, project-style engagements for highly specialized LNG personnel and operational deliverables; engagements are scoped directly with enterprise clients (oil & gas majors, terminal operators, ports, government agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard). The mooring assessment workflow uses the third-party Optimoor software combined with CryoSafe's domain methodology, and compatibility/procedural artifacts are tailored per company and location. Personnel are deployed globally across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with the company headquartered in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, UK and an additional review location in Bath, UK. The firm holds no disclosed institutional funding, operates with a small core team supplemented by a deep contractor bench, and generates revenue through professional and managed services streams tied to LNG industry growth and decarbonization regulation (e.g., FuelEU Maritime).
