Surveying NEWBUILDING INSPECTION To ensure that our client will take delivery of a properly constructed vessel which conforms to the agreed specifications and drawings we will periodically attend during the build. Reports are sent to the client following each visit and any defects and omissions found will be identified for subsequent rectification. As the owners' technical representative we deal with any matters arising during build which require a resolution. We will coincide visits with stage payments due to ensure payments are made only when the due work has been completed ANNUAL REFIT SURVEY Many commercial vessel undergo regular refits both for statutory requirements, MCA or possibility Classification Society surveys. A qualified surveyor acting on behalf of the client to attend during refits is both a necessary and valuable requirement to ensure the work is properly effected. MCA COMPLIANCE SURVEYS We are Certifying Authority approved surveyors for craft complying with the various Codes of Practice. Part of the work in order to provide compliance for the Code of Practice is to carry out a condition examination and assessment of life safety equipment, firefighting equipment and fire protection. CONDITION SURVEY FOR PURCHASE All reputable brokers recommend that it is in the interests of the purchaser to have a condition survey of the vessel carried out prior to completion of purchase. Clearly it makes sound financial sense to expend a relatively small sum on the condition survey in relation to the investment to determine the condition of the vessel in order to re-negotiate the agreed price following identification of material defects found following the condition survey. With the potentially high usage of commercial vessels a thorough survey can be vital. We survey vessels of CONDITION SURVEY FOR INSURANCE DMC&A carry out condition surveys for all the major marine underwriters, and our reports are accepted by those underwriters for insurance purposes. VALUATION SURVEYS Marine Mortgage companies invariably require an examination of the vessel on which the loan is to be made, giving an assessment of valuation to safeguard their position. We have worked with all the major companies dealing with marine mortgages in the UK and some abroad and can offer a prompt and reliable service. DAMAGE SURVEYS DMC&A can inspect a vessel following an incident, offering an assessment of the damage, recommendations on repairs and investigations into the likely cost of repairs. This is a necessity to ensure that the value and safety of the vessel is not unduly affected by the damage sustained. Further visits during the repairs can be undertaken to check that the repair specification prepared is fully complied with.
