Our Services
01.Pre-Purchase Marine Survey
A pre-purchase marine survey is a comprehensive inspection performed before buying a vessel to assess its overall condition, safety, and value. The surveyor examines the hull, structural components, mechanical and electrical systems, and safety equipment, often including a sea trial to observe performance. The final report identifies any defects or maintenance needs and provides a fair market valuation, helping buyers make an informed and confident purchase decision.
02.Insurance Marine Survey
An insurance marine survey is a focused inspection of a vessel conducted to confirm its seaworthiness and overall condition for insurance purposes. The surveyor examines the hull, mechanical and electrical systems, and safety equipment to identify any issues that could pose a risk. The resulting report outlines necessary repairs and provides an appropriate insured value, helping insurers determine coverage and ensuring the vessel meets required safety standards.
03.Condition & Valuation Marine Survey
A condition and valuation (C&V) marine survey is an inspection that evaluates a vessel’s overall structural integrity, onboard systems, and safety equipment, while also determining its current market value. The surveyor documents the boat’s condition, notes any deficiencies or maintenance needs, and provides a fair valuation based on its age, equipment, and comparable vessels. This type of survey is commonly required for financing, insurance, or updating a boat’s documented worth.
04.Damage Marine Survey
A damage survey is a targeted inspection conducted after a vessel has experienced an accident, malfunction, or severe weather event. The surveyor documents the extent and cause of the damage, evaluates the impact on the vessel’s safety and operability, and estimates the cost of repairs. This report helps owners, repair facilities, and insurance companies determine the necessary corrective actions and supports accurate claims processing.
05.Underwater Hull Survey
