O'HARA MARINE LIMITED

O'Hara Marine Ltd is a specialist naval architecture and marine surveying consultancy operating from Kinsale in County Cork. Led by Niall O'Hara, a Southampton Solent University graduate with a decade of experience across Ireland and abroad, the firm offers expert advice to owners of commercial, fishing and leisure craft.

The company's core services include Code of Practice surveys for fishing vessels under 15 metres, stability assessments for passenger and load-line compliance, and the production of detailed regulatory drawings such as hold, fire and modification plans. O'Hara Marine also provides full design support for new builds - from preliminary 3-D modelling and cost estimates to detailed structural design of hull scantlings - as well as bespoke modification and refit specifications for leisure vessels. All work is underpinned by professional indemnity and public liability cover, and the firm is VAT-registered.

With a recognised appointment on the Department of Transport's panel of surveyors for small fishing vessels, O'Hara Marine combines technical rigour with a practical, client-focused approach, helping craft owners meet safety standards, insurance requirements and their own performance goals.
