- DAMAGE SURVEY
This type of survey is focusing on damage or emerging defect. The extent of the damage is ascertained and recorded after a complete damage inspection, so that the damage repairs can be started from a suitable base line.
The description of the boat and the investigation of the prevailing conditions leading to the incident are included in the survey. In addition, we collect owners’, captains’ or witnesses’ signed statements.
A preliminary report is provided immediately after the initial inspection, including gathered evidence.
- VALUATION SURVEY
A valuation survey is usually requested by the yacht owners in order to be used for insurance purposes or by banks when finance is being obtained for the purchase of a yacht.
This type of survey takes into account the general condition of the boat in conjunction with the prevailing yacht market conditions, as well as other factors (e.g. yacht manufacturer and model, year built, etc.), allowing us to determine the commercial value of the boat in this part of the world between willing buyer and seller.
The valuation survey report is issued after a few days of the yacht survey completion.
- INSURANCE SURVEY
The survey of the yacht for insurance purposes assists the insurance companies in determining the risks the yacht imposes.
This survey is mainly focused on the boat’s structural integrity and safety for her intended use, as well as items that affect the commercial value of the boat. The prevailing commercial value of the boat in this part of the world, between willing buyer and seller, is also assessed, if requested.
Usually the insurance company requires survey to be carried out whilst the yacht is lying in dry dock.
- NEW BUILD CONSULTANCY
NEW BUILDING –
REFIT & REPAIR MANAGEMENT – SUPERVISION
The construction or the refitting of a yacht requires mainly the drafting of a detailed specification which will suit buyers’ requirements, as well as it will ensure that all structural and fitting out details are foreseen in order to avoid extra charge at the yacht completion.
Further to the above, the interaction with various parties involved is necessary, such as lawyers, building yard, designers, subcontractors, Classification Societies, flag states and charter coding officials, etc.
