Marine Surveys by Fisher Marine
Marine vessel surveys are professional inspections conducted to assess a vessel's condition, safety and compliance with industry regulations. These surveys are essential for buyers, owners, insurers and charterers, to make informed decisions and ensure operational reliability
Common types include pre-purchase surveys, which help buyers evaluate a vessel’s condition before investing, insurance surveys, required for coverage approval, and damage surveys, conducted after an accident to assess repair needs. Regular inspections such as class surveys and flag state surveys ensure vessels meet regulatory standards and remain seaworthy.
Whether you are buying, selling, insuring, or operating a vessel, a marine survey provides critical insights, reducing risks and preventing costly issues. Investing in a professional survey helps protect your asset, your business, and the people on board.
Popular options
Pre-Purchase Survey
A pre-purchase survey is a comprehensive inspection carried out before buying a vessel to assess its overall condition, safety, and value. This type of survey helps potential buyers make an informed decision by identifying any defects, necessary repairs, or hidden costs.
Insurance Survey
A marine insurance survey (also called an underwriting survey) is conducted to assess a vessel’s condition, safety, and risk level before an insurance company provides coverage or renews a policy. The survey helps insurers determine the vessel’s insurability, valuation, and any necessary repairs or improvements to meet safety standards.
Damage Survey
A marine damage survey provides essential documentation for insurance claims, legal disputes, and repair planning. It helps ensure fair compensation and supports decisions on whether to repair or replace a vessel or its components.
