Who We Are
About Blue Meridian
Our Story
Independent Expertise at Every Stage
Blue Meridian Marine Services was founded by Vipin Sachdeva, a marine engineering leader with over 40 years of technical, operational, and commercial maritime experience. The firm was established with a single purpose: to provide shipowners, operators, investors, and legal teams with truly independent, expert advisory — free from the conflicts of interest that can compromise advice from brokers, managers, or yards.
Our principal has held senior executive roles at major shipowning companies in India and Hong Kong, including as a Technical Director. He has also served as an Engineer Surveyor with a reputed Classification Society and sailed to Chief Engineer rank on tankers, OBOs, and bulk carriers.
We serve a global client base of shipowners, private equity investors, financial institutions, legal teams, and ship operators who require rigorous, independent technical and commercial advisory across the full vessel lifecycle.
