Our yacht survey services can be structured to
your individual requirements, with detailed
reports that can assist you in making informed
decisions that may save time, money and the
safety of your vessel and crew.
Damage Assessment
Damage assessment is usually commissioned by
insurers / underwriters to assess the extent of
damage arising from an alleged incident and
subsequent claim.
We currently supply damage assessment services and loss adjustment for a
number of leading marine insurers and
underwriters.
Damage assessment services are also provided to
vessel owners, independently of an insurance
claim.
The Valuation Inspection
A limited inspection provided to identify a
vessel and its general condition, sufficient to
determine a fair market valuation for finance,
probate and customs.
Please note: this type of inspection is not a
substitute for an insurance survey, where a full
condition survey is now required by most leading
insurers and underwriters
Consultancy Services
Our specialist consultancy service covers a wide
range of disciplines based on our industry
experience. It can start with a straightforward
condition survey and cover new-build project
management or refit/repair supervision, system
installations, materials and construction.
We can undertake research and liaise with
specialist consultants. We provide at all times
impartial and professional advice.
 Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Visual, acoustic, electromagnetic and
radiographic processes can be utilised to locate
potentially defective parts of a vessels
structure or fittings to avoid unnecessary
damage to sound parts.
Non-destructive testing may be recommended were
the existence of subsurface defects are
suspected, the extent of which requires
quantifying prior to any destructive inspection
and repair.
-
Visual – visible spectrum, visible
indicators (dye penetrant) and infrared
spectrum -thermography (sensing of
temperature variation in radiated heat from
discontinuity within a structure)
-
Acoustic – ultrasonic thickness testing and
hammer-percussion sounding
-
Electromagnetic – moisture meters
(resistance for timber & capacitance meters
for FRP) and magnetic particle testing of
ferrous metals
-
Radiographic – x-rays of fastenings and
fittings
Ultrasonic thickness measurement of metal
structures and the measurement and analysis of
the wetness of FRP hulls are normally conducted
in accordance with the relevant IIMS codes of
practice.
Finite destructive testing and analysis of core
samples can be provided under controlled
laboratory conditions, for example – burn
testing of fibreglass laminates to determine
laminate schedules and resin/glass ratios.
