Condition Surveys

Survey Association will undertake a comprehensive survey to ascertain the physical condition of the vessel and the effectiveness of the onboard management. If deficiencies are found, the surveyor will provide the Master and/or owners’ representative with a list of items in need of rectification. The surveyor will forward a copy of the list to the customer with his initial report, following which action may be taken by the managers. If repairs are necessary, the managers may require a follow-up survey once they have been completed.
Through the entire process Survey Association will be available for assistance and guidance. First and foremost we are committed to providing services based on integrity, efficiency and high standards that are part of Survey Associations 100 year old heritage.
Typical vessel types for condition surveys would be :

  

• Cargo vessels (tankers, Ro-Ro, container, bulk)

• Special purpose vessels
• Yacht/Small Merchant Vessel Surveys
• Offshore vessels and tugs
