Condition Surveys

Our cargo ship condition surveys provide a thorough and independent assessment of a vessel’s structural integrity, machinery condition, and overall seaworthiness at a defined point in time. These surveys are conducted to support owners, operators, charterers, financiers, and insurers who require a clear and factual understanding of a cargo vessel’s technical status for operational, commercial, or risk-management purposes. 

The survey scope typically includes inspection of the hull, decks, cargo holds, hatch covers, ballast tanks where accessible, machinery spaces, propulsion systems, deck equipment, and safety installations. Particular attention is given to identifying visible defects, corrosion, structural deterioration, operational deficiencies, and maintenance standards that may affect the vessel’s performance, safety, or suitability for its intended service. 

Each ship condition survey is documented in a detailed professional report supported by time-stamped photographic evidence and clear technical observations. The report provides an objective record of the vessel’s condition, highlights observed deficiencies, and includes practical recommendations where applicable, enabling stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding operations, maintenance planning, chartering, or asset management.
