NEWBUILDING INSPECTION AND OVERSEEING
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 will
attend to any matters arising during build which require resolution.
We will coincide visits with stage payments due to ensure payments
are made only when the due work has been completed. |

ANNUAL
REFITS
DMC&A carries out annual surveys on many yachts,
ensuring for owners that items requiring attention are not neglected
and that the vessel is maintained on a systematic basis to good
standard year by year. This ensures that the vessel's value is
maintained at the best level. |

MCA CODES OF PRACTICE COMPLIANCE SURVEYS
As Code Surveyors of the YBDSA Certifying
Authority we carry out certification under the various MCA Codes of
Practice for Motor and Sailing vessels up to 24m. We can also
produce Stability Information books when required. We are
particularly conversant with the Codes, having been involved in
their development and have worked with several sail training
organisations. |

CONDITION SURVEY
(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.
The report and advice may be used to re-negotiate the 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." |

CONDITION SURVEY (INSURANCE)
DMC&A carry out
condition surveys which enable all the major marine underwriters to
assess risk. Our reports are accepted by those underwriters
for insurance purposes. |

|
VALUATION SURVEY
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 for
vessels from tens of thousands to tens of millions.

|
|
DAMAGE SURVEY
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. |

TONNAGE MEASUREMENT
SURVEY
In order to register a vessel a Tonnage
Measurement is required and we can carry these out on vessels to 24m
for UK and UK dependency registrations. We are also able to carry
out tonnage surveys of larger vessels where no Classification
Society surveyor is available.
