M. S. Udai Kiran
Class I Marine Engineer & Independent Marine Technical Consultant
With over 20 years of practical sea experience across tanker and merchant fleets, M. S. Udai Kiran founded Dial 21 Marine Technical Consultants to provide shipowners, operators, and managers with genuinely independent technical advisory and owner's representation.
