Origins Of Plimsoll Analytics
Plimsoll Analytics grew from three decades of statistical consulting into a maritime health, biostatistics, and law of the sea practice based in Casper, Wyoming, and working internationally. We combine research-grade measurement, public health insight, and legal training to help P&I clubs, shipowners, regulators, and law firms turn complex maritime data into grounded, defensible strategy.
Finding Our Maritime Focus
Time in the Caribbean, and later LL.M. studies in the Law of the Sea, exposed us to a global industry rich in regulation but thin on health data and serious statistics. Working with Port State Control records, we saw recurring, underanalyzed health and safety patterns. That realization shifted our work toward a dedicated, maritime-focused consulting practice.
What Guides Our Practice
We are guided by independence, methodological rigor, and plain-language communication. As a Black-owned, female-led, research-focused maritime consulting practice, we stay close to the evidence and honest about its limits. Our role is to translate complex maritime health, biostatistics, and law of the sea questions into clear, defensible options that help clients act with confidence across jurisdictions.
