Vessel Inspection
An independent set of eyes on the vessel.
Attendance by qualified masters and engineers, with photographic evidence and a defensible report — for owners, buyers, charterers, financiers and underwriters.
Overview
Vessel Inspection
Inspection reports get used in negotiations and disputes, so they have to hold up. Ours are evidence-based: what was seen, where, when, and what it will cost to put right.
Tell us the port, the window and the scope, and we will confirm attendance and a fee before you commit.
Scope of work
