Floating Solutions Consulting

What Floating Solutions Consulting does

Floating Solutions Consulting (FSC) is an independent maritime engineering consultancy headquartered in Perth, Western Australia, founded in 2017 by Alex Mosnier. The firm operates from a single office at Level 1, 191 St Georges Terrace, Perth, with a team of approximately 17-20 specialist engineers and naval architects holding over 500 years of combined experience across energy, defence, and commercial maritime sectors. FSC is entirely founder-owned and bootstrapped, with no external institutional investment, parent company, or funding rounds identified in source materials. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified by DNV and has been Climate Active carbon neutral (Australian Government) since 2022, with all emissions offset since founding.

FSC's core offering is built around four integrated service areas: Hull Integrity Management (including Risk-Based Inspection, FMECA-based structural defect management, and composite hull repairs), Marine Assurance, Marine Energy & Decarbonisation, and Naval Architecture & Project Management. Its technical differentiators are Class-approved methodologies with Lloyd's Register—notably a bespoke RBI framework, a Lloyd's Register-approved FMECA methodology for hull structures, and a first-of-class composite repair methodology for primary hull structures—combined with digital tools such as laser scan data interpretation for buckling assessment and support for FPSO hull digital twins. Quantified project outcomes include up to 90% reduction in repair scope, 45% reduction in steel renewals, 30-40% reduction in manhours/cost/schedule, and approximately 80% reduction in personnel exposure from working at heights.

Revenue is generated through professional services fees: project-based consulting engagements and technical advisory delivered directly to enterprise clients, with quote-based pricing that varies by scope, asset type, and engagement complexity. FSC maintains six active hull RBI plans and serves named operators including Santos, Woodside, Shell, INPEX, BHP, Petrofac, Jadestone Energy, Carnegie Clean Energy, WaveX, InCapture, Austal (Royal Australian Navy Cape Class Patrol Boats), Wallenius Marine, JFD Global, Bhagwan Marine, and engineering firms such as Worley and Wood Group. Go-to-market is sales-led and enterprise-focused, with marketing driven by conference presentations (IMC, RINA Warship), published technical papers, content on a document library, and direct referrals rather than paid advertising. Distribution is exclusively direct client engagement with no intermediary resellers or channel partners.

Core offering

Floating Solutions Consulting is an independent maritime engineering consultancy that delivers specialist naval architecture, hull integrity, and risk-based inspection services for offshore marine assets. Its core offerings include Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), FMECA-based structural defect management, composite hull repairs, marine assurance, naval architecture and project management, and marine energy/decarbonisation advisory for FPSOs, naval vessels, and commercial maritime operators. Services are delivered through project-based consulting engagements combining remote technical advisory with on-site support at offshore locations, shipyards, and client offices.

Product overview

Floating Solutions Consulting (FSC) is an independent maritime engineering consultancy offering four integrated core service areas: Hull Integrity Management, Marine Assurance, Marine Energy & Decarbonisation, and Naval Architecture & Project Management. Within Hull Integrity, the firm offers Risk-Based Inspection (RBI), FMECA, and Composite Repairs as key sub-service offerings. The company specializes in FPSO and offshore asset management, providing engineering assessments, inspection optimization, structural repairs, and decommissioning support. FSC leverages digital tools including digital twins and remote inspection technologies (UAVs, ROVs) to deliver risk-based solutions. The firm operates as a professional services consultancy rather than a software product company.

Broad incumbents

• DNV: Global classification society and maritime advisory firm offering marine assurance, structural integrity, and risk-based inspection services. DNV is both a peer to FSC's marine assurance work and the body that issued FSC's ISO 9001 certification; it competes directly on advisory mandates for offshore asset operators.
• Wood Group: Global engineering and consulting firm with extensive offshore oil & gas and marine infrastructure capabilities. Like Worley, Wood is an FSC customer and a broader competitor for marine engineering scopes on major offshore projects.
• Worley: Large energy and resources engineering services firm with an offshore/subsea practice serving oil & gas operators. Worley is also an FSC customer for engineering consulting but competes at the broader project level on offshore asset integrity work.
• Lloyd's Register: Global classification society whose approval underpins FSC's RBI, FMECA, and composite repair methodologies. LR also runs a marine advisory business that competes with FSC for hull integrity, life-extension, and structural assessment engagements.

Direct peers

• BMT Group: Global maritime engineering consultancy offering naval architecture, structural integrity, marine assurance, and offshore engineering services — the closest direct competitor profile to FSC, with a similar specialisation on operational-phase asset support.
• Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore: Classification society with an active marine advisory practice providing hull integrity, structural assessment, and offshore engineering services to FPSO and vessel operators — directly comparable to FSC's hull integrity and marine assurance offerings.
• American Bureau of Shipping (ABS): Classification society offering marine advisory, structural integrity management, and life-extension services for offshore assets and naval vessels. ABS competes with FSC on RBI/FMECA-style engagements and Class-approved repair methodologies.
• SeaTec: Independent marine engineering consultancy providing naval architecture, structural integrity, and asset management services to offshore operators and navies — comparable specialisation, customer base, and project-based delivery model to FSC.
• RINA Services: Classification society and engineering consultancy providing marine certification, structural assessment, and technical advisory to shipowners and offshore operators across the same life-extension and integrity management domain as FSC.
• Intertek Shipcare: Marine surveying and ship-care services business providing hull inspection, OVID surveys, condition assessments, and marine assurance — overlapping directly with FSC's marine assurance, integrity surveys, and Class support offerings.
