Pre-purchase & condition surveys
Objective, evidence-based reporting on a vessel's condition, so that buyers, charterers and financiers can decide with confidence.
- Position
- Independent
- Deliverable
- Written report with photographs
- Mobilisation
- At short notice
The true condition of a vessel is rarely visible in its sale particulars. Our surveys combine physical inspection, document review and class record analysis to give a clear picture of condition, risk and likely expenditure.
Reports are structured for decision-making: findings are graded by severity and accompanied by indicative cost and timing for remedial work.
Survey types
- Pre-purchase inspections for second-hand acquisitions
- Condition surveys for owners and insurers
- On-hire and off-hire surveys
- Technical due diligence for banks, lessors and investors
- Class records and certificate review
- Damage assessment and repair scoping
