Marine surveying consultancy Brookes Bell has acquired Associated Petroleum Consultants (APC) for an undisclosed price.
APC provides its expertise to the oil and shipping industries, with more than 30 years of experience in the investigation of disputes and claims arising from the various technical aspects in the quantity and quality control of bulk liquid oil transport, Brookes Bell said.
Ray Luukas, chief technical officer at Brookes Bell, added: “We have long recognised expertise across international marine and energy sectors and are constantly looking to develop and improve the services we offer to our clients.
"APC’s specialist knowledge and expertise in petroleum and related fields are particularly relevant at this time and will significantly enhance our service proposition to clients in this area."
APC director Captain David Payne, said: “As a leading expert in all aspects of the quantity and quality control of bulk-shipped liquid cargoes, I believe APC will provide important specialist and complementary expertise to enhance Brookes Bell’s already comprehensive range of services.”
Brookes Bell is owned by Thomas Miller.
