The Maritime House

What The Maritime House does

The Maritime House is a privately held maritime services consortium founded in 2017 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, operating as an umbrella organization over three member companies: ESKO Marine Trading Ltd Co. (marine products representation and ship agency), Alpha Marine Consulting Turkey (HSQE systems consultancy and engineering design), and Nexus Maritime Istanbul (marine surveys). The group serves shipowners, operators, and ship management companies primarily in Turkey and Greece, with a Piraeus office extending coverage into the broader Greek shipping community. Its integrated portfolio spans engineering design services, HSQE management systems development, claims handling, marine surveys, ship agency and port services across Turkish ports, training seminars and webinars, and exclusive Turkish distribution of marine equipment from international manufacturers including Trojan Marinex (UV-based ballast water treatment systems), CR Ocean Engineering (exhaust gas scrubbers), Norsepower (rotor sail wind propulsion technology), Insatech A/S (emissions and bunker management), and ACO Marine (wastewater treatment systems).

The business model combines professional services fees with product distribution margins. Revenue is generated from HSQE systems consultancy, engineering design, claims handling, surveys, ship agency and port services, training seminars, and exclusive representation agreements for marine products. Go-to-market is consultative and sales-led, relying on direct engagement through seminars, webinars, industry events such as Exposhipping Expomaritt Istanbul, and professional networks. Pricing is bespoke and project-based with no publicly disclosed pricing; engagements are structured as multi-year contracts depending on scope, vessel type, and complexity. Customer segments are predominantly enterprise shipowners and operators across tanker, dry bulk, container, and RoRo/cargo segments.

Founders M. Erhan Esinduy (former marine superintendent with Liberian Registry regional manager experience) and Adem Kocadağ (former Hempel Coatings marine coordinator and naval architect) lead the organization alongside additional managing directors from the Greek operations. Demonstrated delivery scale includes technical documentation for over 800 vessels for Neo-Panamax Panama Canal compliance and over 1,000 vessels for mooring modifications, alongside 25+ energy audits and participation in the Norsepower Maersk Pelican rotor sail trial. The company remains owner-financed with no external funding rounds disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• V.Group (V.Ships): World's largest ship management company, providing crew management, technical management, and HSQE services. Competes with TMH for HSQE management systems work and serves many of the same Greek and international tanker/bulker clients.
• DNV Maritime: Classification society and maritime advisory offering plan approval, surveys, and decarbonization consulting (including alternative fuels and CII advisory). Directly comparable services to TMH's Alpha Marine Consulting, but with global presence and proprietary digital tools.
• ABS (American Bureau of Shipping): Classification society and marine advisory with broad global footprint. Provides plan approval, surveys, and sustainability advisory services directly comparable to Alpha Marine Consulting and Nexus Maritime offerings.
• Wärtsilä Marine: Global marine technology and services provider with ship agency, servicing, and decarbonization solutions. Has a strategic service cooperation with Norsepower, the same OEM TMH represents in Turkey, creating both partnership and competitive tension.
• Lloyd's Register: Classification society and marine advisory serving the world's largest shipowners. Provides the same plan approval, survey, and advisory services as TMH's consulting subsidiaries, and notably serves as independent verifier for Norsepower rotor sail trials that TMH's principals participate in.
• Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore: Global classification society and marine consultancy providing plan approval, surveys, and HSQE advisory services. Competes with TMH's Alpha Marine Consulting and Nexus Maritime for technical documentation and compliance work, but at significantly larger scale and broader geographic reach.
