Compliance. Simplified.
OUR STORY
MAERIN was founded on the belief that maritime compliance should strengthen operations, not create unnecessary complexity.
Combining seagoing experience with shore-based regulatory expertise, we help maritime businesses translate complex requirements into clear actions, effective management systems, and ongoing compliance oversight.
Based in Portugal and working internationally, MAERIN provides independent, practical support to shipowners, yacht and ship management companies, and maritime operators.
MAERIN was built from experience in the maritime industry and a simple observation: compliance should make an operation stronger, not simply more complicated.
Maritime operations are governed by complex regulations, safety requirements, documentation, audits and constantly changing obligations. When these elements become fragmented, compliance can quickly turn into unnecessary complexity, administrative pressure and operational risk.
MAERIN was created to approach that differently.
We take complex regulatory and operational requirements, break them down into clear and practical actions, and build them around the way each operation actually works. From compliance and safety management to crew, audits, risk and maritime security, our focus is on creating systems that are structured, practical and defensible.
We work with yacht and ship management companies, operators, owners’ representatives and maritime professionals who need more than a checklist. They need clarity, preparedness and confidence in the way their operations are managed.
Based in Cascais, Portugal, MAERIN works remotely with clients across the maritime sector.
Compliance. Intelligence. Precision
Meet the Founder
Founded by Vanda Magalhães, a maritime compliance professional with experience across seagoing operations, yacht administration, crew compliance, and regulatory support.
Having worked onboard and subsequently moved ashore into yacht management and compliance, Vanda brings a practical understanding of how maritime requirements translate into the day-to-day reality of vessels, companies, and their teams.
Her work spans maritime compliance, ISM, ISPS, MLC, regulatory requirements, documentation, internal processes, audit and inspection readiness, and compliance monitoring — with a particular focus on identifying gaps before they become operational problems.
This combination of seagoing experience and shore-based compliance responsibility allows MAERIN to approach compliance from both sides: understanding what regulations require, while keeping their implementation practical, proportionate, and workable.
MAERIN exists to provide the compliance capability companies need without necessarily requiring a full-time internal position — giving maritime businesses access to experienced, structured support when and where it matters.
