Surveying & Audits Pre-Purchase Surveys

A comprehensive advisory service is offered including advice on purchase, operation, financing, and insurance.

The pre-purchase survey is an enhanced version of the pre-charter survey and includes the survey items outlined above.

With the owner's cooperation, selected cargo tanks are inspected during a ballast voyage or, if possible, during docking by one of our naval architects.

Depot spares are also assessed. An inspection of classification records is recommended, to gain information into any historic or recurrent problems and to provide details of any conditions of class.

Only through a physical inspection of the vessel, plus associated onboard and classification records, can a prospective owner fully assess the true condition of the subject vessel and assess its worth.
