This survey is a comprehensive and detailed inspection on the condition of a vessel, not only emphasising on the vessel’s critical components but also on finer cosmetic details and fittings.

The vessel will be surveyed in and out of the water.

We will also undertake a sea trial, witnessing, where we can, the equipment in operation and the overall handling performance of the vessel while underway at varying speeds making various manoeuvres.

The full survey report will be presented in English and supported by photos.

We endeavour to supply the final report within 48 hours after inspection. We are always available to discuss findings in person and offer advice on how to repair/address defects.
