-
Inspection of a vessel to assess and document its current state, focusing on structural integrity, systems, and onboard equipment. It is typically required for insurance, financing, or regulatory purposes to verify the vessel’s seaworthiness and suitability for its intended use.
-
Detailed examination of a vessel’s primary structure, including hull, deck, bulkheads, and internal framing, to evaluate its integrity and detect defects or deterioration. It provides an in-depth assessment of the vessel’s safety and longevity, often involving non-destructive testing and close inspection of load-bearing components.
-
Oversight and coordination of a vessel’s construction from design approval through delivery, ensuring compliance with specifications, regulations, and quality standards. It involves managing timelines, budgets, contractors, and inspections to deliver a seaworthy vessel that meets the owner’s requirements.
-
Verifying that applied coatings meet specification and industry standards, ensuring proper application and long-term protection. Using advanced instruments such as electronic thickness gauges to confirm film build, and Rhopoint gloss and DOI (Distinctness of Image) meters to measure surface appearance and finish quality, we provide a precise assessment of the coating’s performance and compliance.
-
Inspection carried out after an incident such as grounding, collision, or fire to determine the extent, cause, and nature of damage sustained by a vessel. It provides a detailed report with repair recommendations, cost estimates, and evidence for insurance or legal purposes.
-
Performance tests conducted under operational conditions to evaluate a vessel’s handling, propulsion, steering, navigation, and onboard systems. As surveyors, we monitor and document machinery performance, speed trials, maneuverability, vibration, noise levels, and safety equipment operation to verify that the vessel meets specifications and is fit for service.
