Hull Condition &
Damage Surveys
The hull is the foundation of any vessel’s safety and performance. Our Hull Condition & Damage Surveys provide a thorough, professional evaluation of your vessel’s structure—ensuring it is seaworthy, compliant, and fit for its intended purpose. Whether you’re buying, insuring, maintaining, or repairing a vessel, our surveys deliver the insight you need to make informed decisions.
What We Assess
Our surveys go beyond a visual check, using professional techniques and equipment to evaluate:
Vessel Details & Seaworthiness – Construction type, design, and suitability for service.
Operational Safety – Stability, crew safety factors, and location-specific considerations.
Hull Fittings & Attachments – Including masts, anchors, cables, chains, rigging, and associated equipment.
Tank & Compartment Condition – Checking for corrosion, leaks, or structural issues.
Wear from Use – Changes in condition after charter, hire, or prolonged service.
Auxiliary Structures – Floating lock gates, caissons, and other structural components.
Damage Assessment
When damage occurs, a fast and accurate evaluation is critical. We determine:
Nature & Extent of Damage – To hull, machinery, cargo gear, or deck equipment.
Cause Investigation – Identifying likely cause, including collision or grounding events.
Peril Attribution – Confirming whether damage relates to a specific incident or hazard.
Underwater Surveys – Bottom condition assessments after dry-docking, grounding, or other incidents.
