Close Up Radio Spotlights Captain Paul Foran of Consolidated Maritime Resources

Jacksonville, FL – Captain Paul Foran is a maritime safety expert and the founder of Consolidated Maritimes Resources LLC, where he provides expert witness services for attorneys of both plaintiffs and defendants.  

Foran has over 40 years of experience in the maritime industry. As a marine consultant and expert witness, he has participated in accident investigations and development of corrective action plans for incident resolution and process improvement.

“I was engaged as an in-house expert because we had a personal injury that took place while I was the chief officer,” recalls Foran. “I was brought in as an in-house expert to testify about what actually took place on this ship. Once I got exposure to the world of maritime litigation, I knew this was something that I wanted to do more of.”

Foran graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, NY in 1981.

Foran spent the next 30 years sailing around the world, including command of 15 different deep sea vessels: their management oversight, condition surveys and inspections.

The attorneys who retain Foran need him to be able to synthesize information in a way that can be easily explained and understood. While Foran says the majority of cases he works on will not go to trial, he still has to support his interpretation of the facts and be able to defend it.
