Hull & Machinery Surveys

Hull & Machinery Surveys

Verifying That a Vessel Is Fit to Sail

Hull and machinery surveys establish the true technical condition of a vessel: the integrity of the structure, the condition of the main and auxiliary engines, and the state of the mechanical and electrical systems that keep her operating safely at sea.

Our certified surveyors attend the vessel, examine each system against the requirements of the IMO and the relevant classification society, and issue a photo-documented report that sets out condition, risk and the work needed to close any gap.

Full Seaworthiness Verification

Every survey covers the hull structure, propulsion and auxiliary machinery, electrical installations and safety systems — so owners, charterers and insurers all work from the same verified picture of the asset.
