vessel we are here to help and will always take
the time to discuss your specific requirements.

Below is a brief overview of the
services we provide. Please click the links
above on the left for more detailed information
about our marine surveying services. |
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 also any cosmetic work required. In addition
our surveyors will also give advice as to an
appropriate course of action for any rectification
work required.
Insurance surveys: An insurance
survey will usually be required before an insurer
will take on any risk. An insurance survey 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 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: Marine
Techniques offer a discounted three boat inspection
package whereupon a preliminary inspection is
carried out on three boats that may be considered
by a purchaser, as it is normal to consider
more then one vessel at the initial stage of
the buying process.
Pre launch checks: These
are carried out at the start of the sailing
season to establish the overall condition of
a vessel and any highlight any defects that
may require rectification prior to launch. This
may be considered as more of a safety check
than a survey.
Sea Trials: These are more
common with powerboats but sailing yachts are
often included.
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 the Part I Register of Shipping, this being
something often required by finance companies
when a marine mortgage is required. The tonnage
survey provides the official measurements of
the vessel for the Register. A tonnage measurement
can only be authorised by a governing body.
