Hull & Machinery

Hull and Machinery form the foundation of a vessel’s safety, and performance. To prevent unexpected failures and ensure ongoing seaworthiness, independent inspection is essential.  At SCQ Offshore, we conduct hull and machinery surveys for vessels of all types and sizes, verifying their structural condition, machinery performance, and suitability for continued operation in line with regulatory and insurance requirements. 

During each survey, our team evaluates the condition of the hull, deck, and superstructure, along with propulsion systems, auxiliary machinery, steering and control systems, and safety equipment. Where accessible, bilge, ballast, and tank spaces are also inspected. Each assessment is carried out with a practical understanding of real-world operating conditions, allowing us to form an accurate view of both current condition and future operational reliability. 

Our independent reports provide clear findings supported by photographic evidence, prioritised recommendations, and guidance to assist technical and commercial decision-making. Whether the survey is required for insurance purposes, pre-purchase evaluation, condition and valuation reporting, warranty or financing requirements, or damage investigations, SCQ Offshore delivers reliable, impartial support to protect vessels, assets, and stakeholders.
