P&I Condition Surveys
Protection & Indemnity (P&I) Condition Surveys are a vital tool for identifying and reducing risks that could lead to costly claims, delays, or disputes. Unlike most marine surveys, P&I inspections focus on preventing problems before they occur, helping owners maintain vessel safety, operational readiness, and full insurance coverage.
Purpose of a P&I Survey
The main goals are to:
Identify Deficiencies – Structural, equipment, or operational issues that create significant P&I risk.
Ensure Compliance – Detect ISM Code non-conformities and other regulatory breaches.
Minimize Liability – Recommend prompt corrective actions to reduce risks to ALARP (As Low As Reasonably Practicable) standards.
Protect Insurance Coverage – Support the ongoing validity and effectiveness of your P&I policy.
Key Focus Areas
Our P&I surveys cover:
Structural Integrity – Hull, superstructure, and critical fittings.
Safety Equipment – Lifesaving appliances, firefighting gear, alarms, and emergency systems.
Operational Practices – Cargo handling, navigation, and crew procedures.
ISM Compliance – Safety management system, record-keeping, and non-conformity reporting.
Maintenance Standards – Condition of machinery, gear, and onboard systems.
