Regulatory gap analysis
Mapping of gaps against NR-37, NR-30, ANP, and NORMAM, with priorities by risk and deadline.
CASE · MARITIME
M/V CSS Temis
An international vessel, ready to operate in Brazilian waters.
M/V CSS Temis · Brazilian basin
THE CHALLENGE
A vessel with no record in the country, facing a critical deadline.
The M/V CSS Temis arrived in Brazil with no operational record in the country and a tight schedule for clearance in Brazilian Jurisdictional Waters.
The regulatory environment is one of the most demanding in the world: the Navy/DPC (NORMAM), ANP, the MTE Regulatory Standards, and environmental requirements converge on the same timeline. Any gap delays clearance and halts the operation.
THE DELIVERY
We led every front as a single project, under a fixed scope.
We took on integrated management of compliance, from diagnosis to delivery, with clear accountability on each requirement.
Training and competency certification
Crew training on the applicable requirements, with documented competency certification.
Occupational health (PGR and ergonomics)
Risk Management Program and ergonomic work analysis, aligned with the Regulatory Standards.
Helideck compliance
Adequacy of the helideck and supporting air operation to Navy/DPC and ANAC requirements.
Cargo-handling equipment
Certification of cargo and lifting equipment, with the technical documentation required to operate.
Clean hull (Coral-Sol)
Biofouling management and clean-hull documentation under NORMAM 401, avoiding penalties.
THE RESULT
Cleared in record time, with a significant cost reduction.
The vessel was cleared in record time and with a significant cost reduction. The operation ran with no non-conformities, with continuity ensured by a dedicated HSE team on board.

"Highly professional and experienced. They provided top-quality safety technicians and medical professionals. We strongly recommend them."
WHY IT WORKED
Four choices that changed the outcome.
Inside the operation
We did not hand over a list of outstanding items. We were in the field, driving implementation alongside the crew.
Proprietary methodology
Seven steps — from active listening to acceptance follow-up — with defined deadlines, owners, and risk.
Fixed-scope contract
Lump-sum: cost predictability and clear risk allocation, without unpredictable OpEx.
International legal structure
Contracting through GRICCO International (Wyoming) reduced cross-border tax complexity.
