Survey Scope
Four Specialized Marine Inspection Categories
Tailored to meet the distinct commercial and technical objectives of shipowners, charterers, financial institutions, and marine underwriters.
- Pre-Purchase Inspection: Comprehensive evaluation of hull integrity, machinery condition, cargo gear, safety equipment, and planned maintenance records prior to capital commitment.
- Condition Assessment: In-depth technical audits aligned with stringent SIRE 2.0, CDI, and TMSA vetting standards to support chartering acceptance and asset lifecycle planning.
- Pre-Docking Survey: Pinpointing structural wear, machinery defects, and class renewal requirements to establish accurate repair work specifications and drydock budgets.
- Damage & Incident Survey: Independent casualty investigations, hull breach and collision analysis, machinery breakdown root cause analysis, and repair cost estimations.

Quality Benchmark
4-Tier Objective Defect Severity Matrix
Every identified technical observation is objectively classified to provide clear risk visibility for operational decision-making.
- Immediate Attention
- Critical safety or seaworthiness defects posing immediate risk of detention, pollution, or class suspension.
- High Priority
- Significant defects requiring prompt corrective action prior to next voyage or imminent vetting inspection.
- Planned Action
- Gradual wear-and-tear items suitable for inclusion in routine planned maintenance or forthcoming scheduled drydocking.
- Observation
- Good maritime practice improvements to prolong equipment lifespan and optimize fuel and operational efficiency.
