Customer Driven. Quality Powered.

Our business is about helping you sustain yours and we do that by sourcing, supplying, installing and commissioning the right tools for the job.

And we do not just supply, but we support and help you sustain operational capacity with maintenance, spares and repairs for almost all types and makes of marine electronics equipment.

For your business to work safely and effectively you need the right navigational and communication tools for your particular business and maritime activity.  No two businesses, vessels or their activities are necessarily the same. Standards apply but we recognise needs and operational activities vary.

We work in many different maritime sectors, such as fishing, workboats, deep sea ships, offshore facilities, and super yachts. 

No matter whether your vessel operates locally, regionally or internationally we work to meet your specific needs.  And as a UK based business with the support of our owners, the Aage Hempel Group, we are able and resourced to offer an extensive quality service across the UK and globally through our international division Aage Hempel UK.

Our efforts and our energies are always directed at that, providing the best solution available and by meeting your needs with a high level of service and after sales support. Your business is what drives our business.

  
Reinvestment, Renewal & Replacement

Replacement of existing kit and reinvesting in the latest equipment can play havoc with any company’s budget.  Allocating funds and finding resources for capital invetsment from already stretched cashflow can easily become a stressful task.

So, to ease budget pressures we have introduced a range of Asset Financing packages. Budget stabilisers, which are designed to help managers and vessel owners to establish and predict annual budgets more accurately and to help protect against the unexpected.

Charity & Taylor Asset Finance Packages provide a variety of options to meet the specific needs of almost all types of vessels and operations. 

They offer in-built budget stability through four unique methods direct from Charity & Taylor. 

And they are:

 
Fixed fee contracts give you rapid response
night & day, across the world, 24/7, 365 days a year.

Our purpose is to help keep vital bridge electronics operational and thereby your vessels on the move so they stay on hire and working to maximise commercial capacity. 

Marine electronic faults and failures could mean a vessel facing increased hazards, and delays with mounting costs through periods spent off hire.

No matter how minor or major the issue, we work to provide the antidote to such incidents, to ensure the vessel’s bridge electronics are compliant, working safely and efficiently.

We remain flexible and active, working to solve your problem as promptly, efficiently and, most importantly, as effectively as possible - 24/7, 365 days a year.

A wider range of key services give you virtually any number of flexible options.  Read more...

Always on call and always up to speed.

Communications and navigational tools work in harsh conditions day in day out.  Unfortunately, and despite careful design and manufacturing, marine electronics, the vital tools of your trade, do from time to time fail.

Hence our focus on being able to provide the engineering skills and spare parts on a 24/7, 365 days a year on a one-call solves all basis.

That single call starts the ball rolling, identifying the possible fault or part need, sourcing the item and getting it fixed.  Read more...

 
Safety and Compliance

GMDSS Radio Surveys

Annual GMDSS Radio & AIS Surveys play a vital role in maintaining safety at sea.  Surveys, inspections and checks significantly reduce emergencies and can help greatly toward uninterrupted operational capacity. 

Rigorous and diligent inspection of marine electronics equipment is a key service we provide to ensure vessels navigational safety and compliance.

Inspections are carried out by Charity & Taylor engineers who are authorised by the MCA as Shore Based Maintainers and by all major Classification Societies to carry out annual GMDSS radio surveys on their behalf.
