WHAT WE OFFER
Our Marine Survey Services
Pre-Purchase Survey
A pre-purchase boat or yacht survey is the most detailed inspection available prior to acquisition.
We conduct a thorough evaluation of the vessel’s structural integrity, onboard systems, machinery, and overall condition. Our goal is to identify hidden defects, assess maintenance levels, and provide a realistic picture of the vessel’s value and future costs.
This service is essential for:
- Private buyers
- Yacht investors
- Brokers and dealers
- Remote international purchases
A condition survey provides a professional snapshot of a vessel’s current state and maintenance level.
It is commonly used for:
- Insurance renewals or approvals
- Preventive maintenance planning
- Preparing a vessel for sale
- Periodic technical assessments
By identifying early signs of wear, corrosion, or system inefficiencies, this survey helps extend vessel lifespan and reduce long-term costs.
Condition Survey
Damage Survey
A marine damage survey is carried out after incidents such as grounding, collision, fire, flooding, or heavy weather exposure.
We assess:
- Cause and origin of damage
- Structural and mechanical impact
- Required repairs and associated costs
Our reports are designed to support insurance claims, legal proceedings, and repair planning, ensuring a clear and defensible assessment.
Our on-hire and off-hire surveys provide documented evidence of vessel condition before and after charter or lease periods.
This service is critical for:
- Preventing disputes
- Assigning responsibility for damages
- Protecting deposits and contractual obligations
We deliver detailed, time-stamped reports with photographic evidence, ensuring transparency for all parties involved.
On-Hire / Off-Hire Survey
P&I Condition Survey
A P&I condition survey is required by Protection & Indemnity Clubs as part of their risk assessment and entry procedures.
We inspect vessel condition, operational standards, and compliance with relevant regulations, identifying:
- Safety deficiencies
- Operational risks
- Maintenance shortcomings
This survey plays a key role in loss prevention, compliance, and insurance approval.
Our thermographic inspection services use advanced infrared technology to detect hidden defects without invasive procedures.
We can identify:
- Electrical overheating and faults
- Insulation failures
- Moisture intrusion and leaks
- Mechanical inefficiencies
Thermal imaging is a powerful tool for early detection, preventive maintenance, and risk reduction, particularly in complex onboard systems.
Thermographic Inspection
Cargo Survey
A cargo survey ensures that goods are handled, transported, and delivered in accordance with agreed standards.
We provide:
- Pre-loading and discharge inspections
- Cargo condition assessment
- Quantity verification
- Damage documentation
This service is essential for shipowners, charterers, freight forwarders, and cargo owners, particularly in international trade.
A loading and unloading survey monitors cargo operations in real time to ensure proper handling and compliance with industry standards.
We supervise:
- Loading procedures and cargo distribution
- Stowage and securing arrangements
- Handling practices and potential risks
- Condition of cargo before and after operations
This significantly reduces the risk of damage and provides independent documentation in case of disputes.
Loading & Unloading Survey
Bunker Survey
A bunker survey verifies the quantity and quality of fuel supplied to a vessel during bunkering operations.
Our survey includes:
- Accurate quantity measurement before and after delivery
- Sampling and quality control
- Detection of discrepancies, shortages, or contamination
- Full reporting for financial accountability
This service protects vessel operators from financial losses and operational risks associated with fuel supply.
