SGS
Reaching vessel operators at the exact moment inspection services are needed
About SGS
SGS is the world's leading testing, inspection and certification company. Its maritime services span marine fuel testing, emissions monitoring, ballast water compliance and pre-docking condition surveys — services a vessel operator needs at very specific moments in the maintenance cycle.
The challenge
Inspection services are bought on a schedule the buyer controls: around dockings, surveys and compliance deadlines. Generic marketing reaches operators at random moments; what SGS needs is presence at the point where a manager is actively planning a docking — because that is when fuel tests, surveys and compliance checks get commissioned.
How they use TrustedDocks
SGS maintains its service supplier profile on TrustedDocks, placing its maritime inspection portfolio in the workflow where ship managers plan dockings and search for suppliers.
Because the platform's users are, by definition, operators working on maintenance decisions, visibility there reaches decision-makers at the right stage of the cycle — pre-docking surveys before the yard period, compliance testing alongside it.
The vessel database gives SGS's own teams context on the fleets they serve: vessel particulars, management structures and inspection histories, in one reference.
The benefits
Timing built in
Visibility precisely where docking decisions are made — the moment inspection services become relevant.
Qualified interest
Enquiries arrive from operators already planning maintenance, not from cold outreach lists.
Global reach, one profile
A single presence covering the port networks where SGS delivers maritime services.
Fleet context on tap
Vessel and management data supports account teams preparing for client conversations.
