"Key to our professional Marine Surveys is the extensive background knowledge of our staff, which all sailed "with a proven track record" as Captain or Chief Engineer on board of Container, Heavy Lift, MPC and/or Cruise Ships. In addition to solid new building & repair experience gained at well known Hamburg & Bremerhaven / Germany based shipyards."

On & Off-hire Survey

Whilst the determination of damage is the principle purpose of the two requisite reports, one being at the “on hire” survey and the other at the “off hire” survey, there are three other requirements. These are :

The checking of documents and certificates
The establishment of quantities of fuel and stores on board
Sometimes the establishment of the cleanliness of the cargo spaces

Our surveyors are ex-mariners and have the necessary knowledge about ship to offer a service that will meet with the most demanding clients expectation.
