Surveys
Compliance through Surveys
We ensure your vessel’s safety and compliance by coordinating comprehensive surveys. Qualified surveyors will assess various aspects, including the hull, machinery, equipment, and safety systems. These surveys are crucial for maintaining class certificates, ensuring compliance with international safety regulations (like SOLAS), and identifying potential issues before they become major problems. By proactively addressing these concerns, we help you minimize downtime and maintain operational efficiency.
Are Surveys Mandatory
The surveyor will meticulously assess your vessel's structural integrity, equipment (including electronics and electrical systems), and pumping/plumbing systems. A comprehensive report detailing their findings will be provided.
While a marine survey may incur a cost, it offers invaluable peace of mind by ensuring your vessel's safety and seaworthiness. Moreover, surveys are often mandatory for obtaining insurance coverage.
According to maritime regulations, vessels should typically undergo a survey annually to ensure safety and seaworthiness, with additional, more detailed inspections occurring on a set cycle depending on the vessel's age and type, often every 5 years for major components like the hull and machinery.

A Marine Surveyor is a qualified professional with extensive knowledge of vessel construction, design, and safety standards. They conduct comprehensive surveys and provide detailed reports. Boat Inspectors, often mechanics or technicians, may also evaluate vessels, but their expertise is generally more limited compared to Marine Surveyors.
