Pre - offer Inspections:
How many times have you looked at a boat's pictures in an advertisement only to find when you arrive at the boat that the picture in no way depicted the current condition of the vessel? Because of this, our company offers preliminary inspection along with film record of boats of interest at reasonable rates. If you are interested in a vessel you have seen advertised, a Pre - offer Inspection can save you time and travel expenses. A brief inspection of the vessel will be conducted and a report containing a basic opinion of the vessel's condition and its suitability for your requirements will be prepared.
Pre - purchase Condition & Valuation Survey:
This is the most comprehensive type of inspection, and it is strongly recommended when purchasing a new or used vessel. A close examination of the entire vessel and its systems. A sea trial and an out of water inspection of the underwater portions of the hull are usually part of the inspection.
Pre - market Survey:
This is the same type of survey as a Pre - purchase C & V Survey except it is ordered by the owner of the vessel prior to placing the vessel on the market for sale. Its purpose is to locate deficiencies that a surveyor may find during a pre - purchase survey for a buyer and to aid in establishing a market price. It also affords the seller the opportunity correct any deficiencies the vessel may have before they are discovered during a buyers survey.
Insurance / Condition & Valuation Survey:
This inspection is performed for the insurance underwriter to determine if the vessel is an acceptable risk. In the past many insurance underwriters would accept an abbreviated less detailed survey report called an insurance survey. However, underwriters today are much more demanding due to recent events and often will no longer accept these abbreviated reports.
We do not offer such a report. Our Insurance Surveys reflect a very detailed inspection very similar to a Pre - purchase survey. The primary focus of which is items which could lead to the vessel sinking, cause a fire, or endanger the crew and/or passengers. It also involves the assessment of the vessel's fair market value.
An out of water inspection may or may not be a part of this survey. This is usually dictated by your insurance underwriter.
Damage Survey:
This inspection is performed to assess the extent of damage, recommend repairs, and if required, probable cause. Insurance underwriters hire surveyors to report on claims. The surveyor should be unbiased in his report, but remember who is paying him. If you are involved in a claim and believe that the report was incorrect, it may be in your best interest to hire your own surveyor to inspect the vessel.
Recommendation Compliance Inspection:
This type of inspection is usually ordered by the vessel's insurance underwriter, the owner, or the purchaser to document the status of compliance with the recommendations of a previous survey.
Specification Compliance Inspection:
This type of inspection is usually ordered by the purchaser or lender for the purpose of documenting and verifying that specifications are being complied with during the construction of a new vessel. Vessel owner's and insurance underwriters also order this type of inspection so as to document and verify that repairs are completed as specified for a damaged vessel.
Appraisal:
This type of inspection is performed to gather enough information to determine the fair market value of the vessel. It is usually performed for estate settlements, donations, and legal matters. Market research is carried out, and the vessel is inspected to help ascertain its correct value. Factors such as the vessels age, condition, equipment and where the vessel is lying are considered.
Hull Osmosis Inspection:
The purpose of this inspection is to ascertain the condition and moisture content of the underwater portions of a vessel's hull. The inspection can assist in determining the appropriate repair procedures or determining when to commence repairs.
Fluid Analysis:
We offer fluid analysis for engine oil, coolant, outdrive, and gearcase / transmission fluids. This valuable tool can assist in the evaluation of machinery by the detection of wear particles and other contaminants such as the presence of water, salt, antifreeze, etc.
We are happy to tailor our services to meet your individual needs, so feel free to contact us discuss your particular situation.
