Pre-Purchase & Condition Surveys
Know exactly what you are buying — before you sign.
Acquiring a vessel without an independent survey is one of the most expensive gambles in shipping. Broker reports and seller documentation tell part of the story. We tell you the rest — the condition of the hull plating, the true state of the main engine, the deferred maintenance that never made it into the logs, and the structural issues that don’t appear in photographs.
Our surveyors have spent careers inside Greek shipping management. We know where problems hide and exactly what they cost to fix. We work exclusively for the buyer — never the seller, never the broker. That independence is the only thing that makes our report worth having.
SCOPE OF ASSESSMENT
- Hull, shell plating, and structural condition
- Main and auxiliary machinery inspection
- Electrical installations and safety equipment
- Class status, open recommendations, and outstanding defects
