Robert began his career as an engineer cadet with Ocean Fleets Ltd (formerly Alfred Holt & Co.) and performed all of his sea service with that company, rising to the rank of second engineer officer. That sea service provided him with invaluable practical experience of the operation and maintenance of a wide variety of vessels including general cargo ships, refrigerated cargo carriers, tankers and container vessels.
Robert practices in Hong Kong and London as a high-profile independent marine consultant in the private sector. He was resident partner in Hong Kong for Brookes Bell & Co. for seven years, before founding Vart, Mathews & Company in 1987.
He specialises in major hull and machinery cases, and has given expert evidence on matters such as sale & purchase disputes, speed & consumption disputes, allegations of unseaworthiness, etc., in London, New York, Honolulu, Hong Kong, Bangkok and Manila.
His shore-based experience also includes a period as superintendent engineer for a major UK shipowner, and three years as a surveyor of ships to the Hong Kong government.
Recent assignments have included the analysis (speed & angle of blow) of a mid-ocean collision between two large bulk carriers, an in-depth investigation into the structural failure of the hull of a Capesize iron ore carrier, the salvage of a severely explosion damaged tanker and the expert determination of a newbuilding dispute. |
