Core offering

Core Group Consulting is a Houston, Texas-based maritime and marine consulting firm that provides dynamic positioning services, regulatory compliance support, and survey services to vessel operators and offshore industry clients. Founded in 2021, the firm operates a team of nine maritime specialists and also runs Ocean Ridge Litigation Support, a sub-brand launched in 2024 to extend its capabilities into maritime litigation support.

Product overview

Core Group Consulting offers a unified suite of maritime consulting services organized around three core practice areas: Dynamic Positioning Services, Regulatory Services, and Survey Services. The Dynamic Positioning Services practice provides DP vessel quality assurance, operational risk reduction, SIMOPS planning, and power management verification. Regulatory Services encompasses ISM/ISO/SMS consulting, USCG compliance consulting, and document creation (PSTP/QFA/DVTP). Survey Services delivers vessel suitability surveys, competence assessment and training, and incident investigation. In 2024, the company expanded into litigation support through Ocean Ridge Litigation Support, extending its consulting expertise to legal clients.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BMT Group: International maritime engineering and management consultancy with deep offshore and DP advisory capabilities. Comparable on DP, vessel suitability, and offshore engineering consulting, but with a much broader naval architecture and asset management portfolio.
• DNV: Global maritime classification society and one of the largest providers of DP assurance, regulatory advisory, and vessel survey services. Directly comparable across all three of Core Group's practice areas, but operates at global scale with thousands of surveyors and a much broader service portfolio.
• Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore: Marine surveying, certification, and offshore advisory arm of Bureau Veritas. Overlaps directly with Core Group's Survey Services and USCG/ISM compliance work, but at significantly greater global scale across multiple vessel segments.
• American Bureau of Shipping (ABS): Houston-headquartered maritime classification society providing vessel surveys, regulatory compliance consulting, and offshore engineering advisory. Comparable to Core Group on regulatory and survey services, but as a globally established incumbent with a much wider service offering.
• Lloyd's Register: UK-based maritime classification society offering vessel surveys, regulatory advisory, and offshore engineering consulting. Comparable in regulatory and survey scope, with comparable technical depth but a much larger global footprint and broader industry coverage.
• RINA: Italian classification society offering marine surveying, regulatory compliance, and offshore engineering advisory services. Comparable on regulatory and survey practice areas, though smaller than DNV/ABS and with a stronger European offshore base.

Emerging players

• Kongsberg Maritime: Provider of dynamic positioning systems, DP training simulators, and vessel automation technology. Adjacent to Core Group's DP consulting practice through ecosystem overlap, though Kongsberg is a technology OEM rather than an independent consultant.

Others

• IMCA (International Marine Contractors Association): Industry trade association publishing DP, vessel survey, and offshore technical guidance documents that shape Core Group's compliance work. Not a direct competitor but an ecosystem stakeholder whose standards define the firm's service framework.

Direct peers

• Haskoning (Royal HaskoningDHV): Maritime and offshore consultancy providing DP assurance, FMEA, vessel audits, and regulatory support to operators globally. Direct overlap with Core Group's DP and survey services, at larger firm scale.
• Vryhof Engineers: Offshore mooring and anchoring consultancy serving rig operators and offshore contractors. Highly comparable in niche technical offshore consulting, though its specialty is mooring engineering versus Core Group's DP/regulatory/survey mix.
