Pre-Purchase Transactional Survey
A transactional maritime survey consists of a visual inspection of a vessel, carried out without dismantling, to assess its overall condition and structure. It aims to provide a detailed opinion on all the elements examined. This analysis identifies any necessary work and estimates the vessel’s market value at the date of the survey.
The survey generally includes observation of the vessel afloat, a shore inspection, and then a sea trial.
Pre-insurance Survey
A visual assessment of the vessel, carried out without dismantling, aimed at evaluating its structural condition. This survey allows for the establishment of an estimate of the vessel’s market value, particularly for insurance purposes, at the date of the inspection.
Post-Disaster Survey
A post-disaster survey involves examining a vessel that has sustained damage in order to determine its nature, origin, extent, and consequences, as well as to assess the cost of repairs and any potential liabilities.
Damage
Collisions
Rigging loss
Groundings, etc.
Site monitoring and project management
Site monitoring and project management involve ensuring the technical, administrative, and quality control of work related to the new construction, repair, refit, or optimization of a vessel, while assisting the owner in validating technical choices and ensuring compliance with contractual specifications.
CE Certification and Compliance
This expert service assists owners, builders, and importers in bringing their vessels into compliance with European regulations, particularly regarding CE marking and the validation of technical and safety requirements.
