Marc Emig's experience in maritime expertise

Marc Emig

I have been sailing since a very young age, I learned regatta racing and embraced a professional sporting career in crewed racing and then solo racing.


 I have participated in 12 Tour de France à la Voile races, 7 Solitaire du Figaro races, 4 transatlantic races… which has allowed me to have several French championship titles, several participations in the European and World championships.

 I am also passionate about preparing racing sailboats. In parallel, I am becoming an engineer at Arts & Métiers (ENSAM PARIS TECH), which helps me in my approach to mechanics, allowing me to be well-rounded in handling maritime surveying missions. Since 2008, I have divided my life between competitive sailing, my passion, and maritime surveying, my profession.

Since 2008, the company's activity has diversified and now comprises 4 main areas of activity as an independent expert:

We organize amicable expert assessments with or without third parties after a disaster to determine the causes and circumstances and then quantify the damages.

Technical expertise at the service of dispute management


We have legal knowledge that allows us to manage disputes amicably in the context of Legal Protection cases, mediations between insurers, or to assist lawyers in legal proceedings.

03

Construction site monitoring


We provide project management support for ship repair, improvement and conversion projects.

Ship Expertise


We also specialize in vessel surveys to meet the needs of individuals or companies during transactions (pre-transaction surveys) or insurance applications (pre-insurance surveys), thanks in particular to our in-depth knowledge of the nautical market.
