Technical Excellence
GM Orion is an independent maritime consultancy built on deep technical expertise and sound regulatory judgement. Operating from London, we serve Maritime Administrations that require an assessment they can rely on and stand behind.
RO Code auditing is not a checklist exercise. It calls for the experience to distinguish genuine competence from documented intent, and the independence to report what the evidence shows without commercial pressure. That judgement is what we bring to every engagement.
The sections below set out the standards we work to and the scope of what we assess.
Compliance Standards
Recognised Organisation Code
We conduct audits in accordance with the RO Code, assessing whether Recognised Organisations discharge delegated statutory functions to the required standards.
Technical Competence
Our auditors assess procedures, systems and technical decision-making against the competence and impartiality requirements of the RO Code.
Quality Management System
We evaluate the quality management systems through which Recognised Organisations operate, and identify corrective actions to sustain long-term performance.
Regulatory Compliance
Our consultants assess alignment with current IMO instruments, including SOLAS and MARPOL, and advise on closing gaps identified during audit.
