Pre purchase surveys: These are
carried out in order to establish the true condition
of any vessel. A pre-purchase survey will highlight
defects within the structure and list any cosmetic work
required. In addition our marine surveyors will give
advice about the appropriate course of action for any
repair work required and supply a valuation.
Insurance surveys: Many insurers
require a survey before issuing a policy. A pre-purchase
survey will normally cover this requirement. There are
however, situations where an insurance survey will be
more appropriate, for example, as a boat ages, the insurance
company may require periodic surveys. This survey is
will establish the safety and seaworthiness of any vessel
prior to underwriting.
Damage Surveys: These are usually
commissioned by an insurance company after an incident.
An insurance company will wish to know that the vessel
can be repaired within its market value. The survey
will identify the type and extent of the damage, the
cost of any repairs and a schedule of works to be carried
out.
Engine inspections: A external visual
examination is carried out which will identify any patent
defects. Marine Techniques also have specialist marine
engineers who can investigate any suspect internal components.
Three boat package: It is usual to
consider more then one vessel at the initial stage of
the buying process. Marine Techniques offers a discounted
three boat inspection package. A preliminary inspection
is carried out on three boats that are being considered
by the purchaser.
Viewings: If you are some distance
away from the boat you are considering, our marine surveyors
can inspect the boat on your behalf. This is a preliminary
inspection and the cost of it will be deducted from
the pre-purchase survey fee if a full survey is later
done on the boat.
Winter layup: An end of season schedule
of work will be compiled which will include winterization
of the engines and checking of the safety equipment
and a report on the findings.
Pre launch checks: These can be carried
out the start of the sailing season approaches. to establish
the overall condition of a vessel and her safety and
highlight any defects that may require attention prior
to launch.
Sea Trials: These are more common
for powerboats but sailing yachts also sometimes have
sea trials. Engines are run over a length of time under
load, All instrumentation and fittings are tested for
functionality and wear.
Tonnage Surveys: A Tonnage survey is
required if a yacht is to be placed on Part I of the
Register of Shipping. Part I registration is frequently
required by finance companies when a marine mortgage
is taken out. The tonnage survey provides the official
measurements of the vessel for the Register. A tonnage
measurement must be authorised by a governing body such
as the YDSA, or IIMS.
