In introducing ourselves as the leading firm of Ship and Marine Surveyors in India, of over a hundred and thirty years standing, we mention briefly a few facts about ourselves and shall be glad to furnish any further details required.

In 1878 a Swedish gentleman by the name of Capt Ericson started a Ship & Cargo surveying office in Bombay. He was joined as partner by Capt. Richards (an Irishman) in 1914. In 1953 the then partners Capt. H.J. Miller & Capt. J.J. Walmsley, both Englishmen, inducted Capt. Sam B. Aga who was the first Indian Ship Master to join the firm and the first Indian to become a Ship Surveyor and be appointed by International Ship Classification Societies. Since 1963 the firm has been managed and run with Capt. Aga as senior partner at the helm. Capt. Sam Aga expired in March 2002 and has passed forward an enriched company to his two sons - Capt. Behram Sam Aga and Chief Engineer Mr. Adi Sam Aga.

Headquartered in Bombay we have been serving the International Maritime Fraternity for over a hundred years and are now in all the major ports of India.
