Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Process

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a consultation to understand your specific needs and expectations for the prospective vessel. This step helps us tailor our inspection to focus on areas of particular concern or importance.

2. Document Review: Prior to the physical inspection, we review all available documentation, including the vessel’s logbooks, maintenance records, previous inspection reports, and certification. This review provides initial insights into the vessel’s operational history and maintenance standards.

3. Comprehensive Vessel Survey: Our experts conduct a thorough survey of the vessel, which includes:

• Structural Assessment: Checking the integrity of the hull, deck, and superstructure for signs of wear or damage.
• Mechanical and Electrical Systems Check: Evaluating the condition and functionality of the engine, generators, and electrical systems to ensure they are operating efficiently and have been properly maintained.
• Safety Equipment Inspection: Ensuring all safety equipment is present, in good condition, and compliant with maritime safety regulations.
• Navigation Systems Examination: Testing navigation and communication equipment to verify their operational status and accuracy.

4. Detailed Reporting: You will receive a detailed report that includes our findings, photographs of the vessel, and an assessment of its overall condition. The report will also highlight any areas of concern, potential costs for repairs or upgrades, and an evaluation of the vessel’s fair market value.

5. Consultation on Findings: After you review the report, we offer a follow-up consultation to discuss the findings in detail and answer any questions you might have. This discussion can provide further clarity and assist in your final decision-making process.
