Choosing The Proper Surveyor
Marine surveys may be carried out, or requested for a variety of reasons. They may be required to comply with regulatory standards for insurance purposes, or to determine the condition of a vessel before purchase or sale. A marine surveyor will provide a detailed report of the vessel’s condition, and any areas of concern or potential safety hazards.
When selecting a marine surveyor, choosing a qualified and experienced professional is essential. The surveyor should have a deep understanding of vessel systems and regulatory requirements and the ability to identify potential safety hazards. They should also have strong attention to detail and be able to communicate their findings effectively to the perspective new vessel owner.
Marine surveyors may also offer different types of surveys, such as pre-purchase surveys, insurance surveys, or damage claims surveys. Selecting a surveyor with experience in the survey type required for your vessel is essential.
