It is of importance for all parties involved that a proper and objective survey is carried out when an incident has occurred. That is fundamental for a smooth claims handling later on.

We are familiar with various insurance policies and our clients can expect to have a preliminary advice within 24 hours after our attendance on board, and a detailed preliminary report the following day.

We are specialized in Marine Engineering and have over the years learned to deal with many complex situations in connection with casualties, that includes both technology and people. 

We offer damage surveys within:

• Hull & Machinery
• Loss of Hire
• Protection & Indemnity

Further analyses may be necessary to establish root cause of damage. That may include assistance by external expertise, for example metallurgical examination of broken machinery parts or analysis of lubrication or fuel oil. We have experience from this kind of technical investigations and offer support to establish the root cause in order to get an understanding of the underlying problems of an incident.

The following phase after damage is to find a suitable solution for damage repairs, in order to restore the condition of the vessel and put it back in operation.

We offer assistance to find a suitable and cost efficient solution for damage repairs. That includes inquiries to shipyards and specialist companies, eg. for repairs of crankshafts.

We offer Risk Assessment in accordance with Joint Hull, P&I clubs and other standards and we also have experience from several tailor made programs by Ship Owners.

There are several ways of how Condition Surveys are carried out on board. The vessel schedule may limit the time on board and priorities are required to get the outmost from the survey. The priorities may differ, depending on age and type of vessel. 

Fire Safety and Planned Maintenance System (PMS) are in general prioritized by us, since the consequential damage can be severe. That includes visual inspections and testing of various safety equipment.    

We pay great attention to review the PMS to ensure a proper system is in place and followed, since the frequency of machinery damage are statistically high.
