Training that proves competence, not just tests it.
Interactive maritime trainers that sit between e-learning and the simulator — behavioural, scalable, and generating competency evidence automatically. Built by an ETO with 30 years at sea, not by someone who's read about it.
About
I'm an Electro-Technical Officer with over 30 years at sea — Royal Navy submarines, offshore oil & gas, and cruise ship engineering. I started Whitebridge Marine because I kept running into the same gaps: training that tests knowledge but not real competence, drydock coordination running on WhatsApp and spreadsheets, and software built by people who've never stood an engine room watch.
I provide instructional consulting to maritime training centres across Europe, and build software that solves the problems I lived with for years at sea.
Consulting Services
Expert instructor-led training for maritime centres across Europe — delivered by people who've actually run the systems they teach.
Expert Instructor Delivery
Instructors who've stood the watch — delivering your training courses with the authority that only comes from having operated the plant.
Specialised Courses
Engine Room Management, High Voltage, and the technical maritime courses most centres struggle to staff to standard.
Tailored Solutions
Programmes built to your need, from a single course through to comprehensive training-centre support.
Need Drydock Supervision?
Experienced penetration and transit management for cruise ships — real expertise from years running complex drydock operations, beyond what the paperwork captures.
- Penetration tracking & coordination
- Transit management & oversight
- SOLAS compliance & documentation
"I first worked with Neil at sea 25 years ago with Princess Cruises and more recently while I was Director of Operations at CSMART. Neil is courteous, professional, reliable and knowledgeable, which is clearly evident from the wealth of experience he has gained throughout his impressive career."
Look no further if you are seeking first-class maritime consultancy — Neil will be sure to elevate your organisation's knowledge while providing the skills and technical expertise you need to succeed.
Maritime Software
Built by someone who's lived these operational challenges firsthand — and got tired of the workarounds.

Interactive Trainers
Not animations — live physics engines. DC link filtering, thermal models, motor dynamics, and fault cascades that behave exactly as they do on board. Instructors inject faults silently in real time; every session generates structured competency evidence, mapped to your competency framework.
- Behavioural assessment — tests what officers do, not just what they know
- Works at sea, in the classroom, or at a centre — no installation
- Automatic competency evidence — feeds into your competency records

PenLog
Real-time penetration tracking for maritime drydocks. Visibility across every contractor, SOLAS-ready documentation, one-click reporting — built by someone who knows the Excel/WhatsApp nightmare all too well.
- Real-time contractor coordination
- No contractor logins (magic links)
- SOLAS-compliant reporting
