Shipping, Marine Transport & Energy
33 years ago, Aplomb’s first job was related to shipping
London as the leading maritime legal hub with the Admiralty Court dating back to the reign of Edward I (1272–1307), and home to the LMAA – World Leaders In Commercial Maritime Dispute Resolution means that providing specialist technical translations for shipping, transport & energy matters is a key focus of our business.
Aplomb works with the world’s top shipping lawyers, P&I clubs, brokers, charterers, owners, storage facilities, ports and shipyards.
Certified translations for insurance, contractual and litigation matters or for service abroad are carried out in all languages.
From new buildings to logbooks and bunker disputes and rescue at sea, we assign Aplomb-verified professional translators with specialist knowledge, experience and often, qualifications in the subject matter being translated. Using the correct specialists ensures accuracy of technical terminology right from the start and creates efficiencies of speed and cost.

Air/Sea rescue
Aplomb transcribed the dialogue from the VDR for this dramatic Air/Sea rescue. Multi-lingual speakers shouting in several languages at once amidst the sound of the extremely rough seas, crashing waves, metal on rock and the whirring helicopter blades meant this was a complex project to transcribe. Using voice enhancement and noise reduction software, our translators were able to decipher the languages, transcribe the speech and then translate everything into English. Luckily everyone was safely rescued.
