• Transport and shipment survey

These surveys are carried out when a yacht is about to be transported either by road or ship.

Our role in these type of survey is to provide independent record of condition of the yacht at the time of shipping and to ensure the method of lifting, supporting and securing of the yacht being transported.

By contacting us we can provide you a brief checklist of the yacht preparation for transport.

• Supervisory Survey

(yard and refit work supervision, maintenance and repair supervision)

We provide assistance and supervisory service in a major refit process by monitoring works in key stages.
The objective of our surveyor is to independently verify that the work is being completed to the requisite level.
The requisite level is determined by the original contract covering the work. If possible, it is beneficial that the surveyor is involved at the contract stage to ensure adequate quality controls are put in place.

A detailed and specific contract, in terms of the work and quality levels required, will put the client in a strong position if the
work is substandard.
