Bernard Duchenne
NDT Inspector senior for Marine, Offshore, Theme Park, Zoo & Public Aquaria.
Bernard Duchenne founded Marex in 2016 in Frameries, Belgium. He brought offshore inspection methods to public aquariums, at a time when they were treated like leisure pools rather than what they are: chemical plants, with a direct impact on every material they contain.
He still dives on projects to check the team's safety plan and validate critical data. His missions span the Gulf, Asia, the United States and Europe, from SeaWorld Abu Dhabi to Atlantis The Royal and One Za'abeel in Dubai.
“Marex Inspection has never taken a commercial approach: our reputation speaks for itself. Each certification equals one new market.”Bernard Duchenne, WAB magazine, winter 2023
