About Us:

A Legacy of Excellence Since 1848


Raffaut® Inspection Services embodies over a century of expertise, innovation, and commitment in the maritime and shipping industry. Established in 1848, our heritage is deeply rooted in a culture of excellence that has navigated the world’s oceans—from the Atlantic to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. We have operated a number of ships since 1848 including the 100 ton Schooner Jane Bell, operating out of our own fish trading post and shipping globally. We also owned and operated a Fishing Port in the Indian Ocean.

With a broad spectrum of experience across shipping operations, shipbuilding, finance, and management, we have built a legacy defined by innovation, leadership, and a relentless commitment to quality. From servicing shipowners and operators to supporting the fishing industry and international trade, our work spans the full maritime value chain.
