Scope of Survey

• The survey is a visual inspection only, carried out using reasonable skill and care, without dismantling the vessel or its systems.

• Areas that are not accessible or visible at the time of inspection will not be included.

• The survey reflects the vessel’s condition on the day of inspection only.

Limitations

• The survey does not constitute a guarantee, warranty, or insurance of the vessel’s condition.

• Hidden defects, areas not accessible, or issues that cannot be identified without intrusive testing are outside the scope.

• Engine, mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems are examined only to the extent visible and operational at the time.

Client Responsibilities

• The client is responsible for arranging haul-out, sea trials, and crew availability, if required.

• The client must ensure the surveyor has safe and reasonable access to the vessel.

Report & Use

• The survey report is prepared exclusively for the client and should not be relied upon by third parties without written consent.

• The report is intended to assist the client in making an informed decision; it is not a valuation for legal or insurance purposes unless explicitly requested.

Fees & Payment

• Survey fees are agreed in advance and are payable upon delivery of the report.

• Additional costs such as travel, haul-out, or specialist testing (if requested) are to be covered by the client.

Liability

• The surveyor’s liability is limited to the fee paid for the survey.

• The surveyor is not liable for any consequential loss, financial decisions, or future defects arising after the date of inspection.
