Vessel Condition & Transaction Surveys

On/Off-Hire & Bunker Surveys

FAQ

Common Survey Questions

What information is needed to request a survey?

Please provide the vessel name or IMO number, preferred date, survey type, contact email, and any available project notes that help define the scope.

How quickly can availability be confirmed?

Availability is reviewed after the enquiry is received. Timing depends on the vessel location, requested date, access requirements, and scope.

What will the report include?

The report is prepared around the agreed scope and may include a summary, observations, photographs, limitations, and prioritized findings.

Can the scope be customized?

Yes. Survey scope and limitations are agreed before attendance so the inspection and report match the decision being supported.

Which vessel documents should be prepared?

Prepare documents relevant to the agreed scope, such as vessel particulars, certificates, maintenance information, repair records, drawings, or previous reports when available.
