Let’s discuss how we can support your business!
Commercial Shipping & Ports
Our founder has extensive experience in the sales, manufacturing, and aftermarket of ship- and port equipment. Before founding Naviro Consulting, he held key roles at leading companies such as Bruks Siwertell and MacGregor, with responsibilities spanning sales, aftersales, M&A, and business development.

Leisure Boats and CE compliance (RCD)
We assist manufacturers in testing new boat models to ensure quality, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance—primarily under the CE Directive. As an independent party, we conduct thorough evaluations, covering around 500 to 600 points for a typical motorboat. Think of us as both a highly discerning customer and a regulatory inspector, all backed by strong engineering expertise.
Our detailed testing protocol helps manufacturers determine which improvements to implement. Test results are categorized into key areas such as safety, ergonomics, visual appeal, and regulatory compliance. Based on the report, we are often invited to discussions on solutions, down to small technical details. Sometimes we also coordinate a boat builder’s improvement projects towards vendors and authorities. We have also led both internal and external audits.
By combining engineering skills with firsthand boating experience, we deliver great value to our clients. It’s challenging for manufacturers to objectively assess a boat from the perspective of a customer or regulatory authority. We offer a fresh, impartial perspective, comparing the boat to other products and industries. Our services are highly valued, helping boat builders create safer, higher-quality products with fewer warranty claims. Thoughtful design and well-executed features also provide manufacturers with a clear competitive edge.
Invest a little now to reap significant rewards in the future.
Technical Documents & User Manuals
Naviro produces technical documents for boats, including User Manuals and Checklists. In collaboration with our partner HCL in India, we also deliver high-quality artwork, drawings, animations, and print files—all at competitive costs. To date, we have created over 30 manuals for various types of leisure boats, as well as specialized commercial vessels.
A well-crafted manual is a powerful tool for your customers, enhancing satisfaction while reducing the number of questions and claims. It’s also crucial to ensure that your manual complies with the intricate CE regulations (RCD Directive) and aligns with the quality and image of your product. Failing to do so could result in costly claims and negative customer perceptions.
Let’s discuss how we can help you create a manual that works for both you and your customers.
