We have expertise in compliance with all classification society rules including:

When a vessel is ready for survey, the customer usually arranges for the appropriate marine surveyor to inspect the vessel. We will do all we can to facilitate this.
Likewise we can help make contact with a registered surveyor if required - we have good links with the local survey agents.
