Marine Hull Surveys Inspections of this type are generally performed for insurance purposes or as part of a pre-purchase inspection (certification). A survey of this type covers:
Condition & Valuation Surveys Often referred to as an insurance survey, a Condition & Valuation report details the current condition of a vessel and its equipment. The work performed is similar to that of a marine hull survey, but includes, as well, a detailed assessment - or appraisal - of a vessel's current value on the open market.
Damage Surveys - Inspections Detailed Inspections are undertaken to assess the extent of damage to a vessel or its equipment. All repair options are fully explored, with the reports prepared by our marine surveyors providing a detailed analysis of the costs involved. If requested, an investigation is launched to determine the cause and origin of the damage - an investigative process fully documented by way of witness accounts, crew statements and other supporting evidence.
Corrosion Analysis A corrosion survey is performed to certify the integrity of underwater metal fittings - and the zincs installed on hulls to prevent corrosion. Included also in the inspection is a check for errant currents - DC and AC - the result of which can lead to accelerated corrosion and safety problems.
Claims Adjusting The independent adjusters and surveyors with our firm have considerable expertise in the adjustment of marine insurance claims, including errors and omissions - professional liability - arising from consulting and design services. Below is a brief summary of our experience in this area.
General Average Adjusting The expertise of our general average adjusters in arriving at fair and equitable settlements between ship owners and the owners of cargo and freight is highly regarded throughout Asia. Our services in this area include:
Mediation - Arbitration Mediation services are provided by our staff of professional mediators and marine surveyors as a cost-effective solution to resolving the disputes between ship owners and repair facilities. Mediators are not judges; rather, they are a bridge between the parties meant to facilitate a continuing dialogue or discussion. Often, such disputes can be attributed to little more than a lack of proper communication - both in-house and between the parties - a problem that is quickly resolved through the intervention of an independent - unbiased - mediator.
Divers Experienced divers are supplied by our firm for hull inspections, underwater engineering projects, general marine installations and salvage recovery operations. |
