Engineering & Compliance Risk Awareness
Most delays, penalties, and redesigns originate from engineering and compliance risks identified too late.
Where Marine Projects Go Wrong
Core problems that typically surface too late:
- Compliance gaps discovered late in the project lifecycle
- Stability or structural assumptions invalidated after modification
- Offshore operational requirements underestimated
- Misalignment with class, flag, MWS, or notified bodies
- Incomplete or inconsistent technical documentation
How I Reduce Engineering & Compliance Risk
I step in early to identify and control technical and regulatory risks before they become delays, redesigns, or penalties.
- Early-stage compliance and feasibility reviews
- Conversion and modification engineering with regulatory foresight
- Offshore operational scenario analysis
CE Certification for Boats and Components
Despina Karanta is an appointed CE Inspector accredited by the International Marine Certification Institute (IMCI), authorised to conduct independent CE inspection and conformity assessment of recreational boats under 24 metres and associated marine components in accordance with the Recreational Craft Directive (RCD).
Based in Bristol, UK, CE inspection services are available to boat builders and manufacturers across the UK and Europe, with availability for projects globally, subject to IMCI appointment and regulatory scope.

Request a Technical Review
If you’re facing uncertainty around vessel design, modification, or regulatory approval, an early technical review can clarify risks, assumptions, and next steps before they affect approval or delivery.
