Marine survey

A marine survey is an assessment of a vessel or marine structure to evaluate its condition, safety, and compliance with regulations. Conducted by a qualified marine surveyor, it involves inspecting the hull, machinery, and onboard systems to identify any issues or required repairs. Surveys are important for insurance purposes, legal compliance, and ensuring seaworthiness. They can be part of routine maintenance, pre-purchase evaluations, or post-incident investigations, providing critical information to owners, insurers, and regulatory bodies about the vessel's integrity and operational readiness.
