All surveys and inspections are carried out in accordance with the guidelines and standards set by the Royal Institute of Naval Architects and the 
International Institute of Marine Surveyors.
 
  
Employing the services of a marine surveyor can save time money and disapointment when a vessel is being purchased, project managed, repaired, in for refit or is a new build.
 
It is important that the vessel is properly prepared and presented for survey. This not only ensures a good survey but ensures that you get the most benefit and value from your survey.
