Pre/Post Charter Survey
A Pre/Post Condition Survey for charters is a critical aspect of vessel management and maintenance, ensuring transparency, accountability, and proper upkeep throughout the charter period.

​
Understanding Pre/Post Charter Surveys:
​
A Pre/Post Condition Survey for charters refers to the assessment of a vessel or ship before and after a charter period. This type of survey is crucial for both the charterer (individual or organization leasing the vessel) and the vessel owner to ensure transparency, accountability, and proper maintenance of the vessel. We test the machinery and equipment, build a photo catalog, and record the overall condition of the vessel.
​
​
Our Pre/Post Charter Survey Services:
-
Thorough Inspection: Our Pre/Post Charter Survey process begins with a thorough inspection of the vessel, focusing on key areas such as the hull, superstructure, machinery, equipment, and systems. We meticulously examine the vessel to identify any existing damage, defects, or areas of concern that may affect its seaworthiness or operational efficiency.
-
Comprehensive Documentation: During the survey, our experienced Marine Surveyor documents his findings in detail, including visual observations, measurements, photographs, and videos. We build a comprehensive photo catalog to provide visual evidence of the vessel's condition before and after the charter period, enabling charterers and vessel owners to track changes over time accurately.
-
Machinery and Equipment Testing: As part of our Pre/Post Charter Survey process, we conduct thorough testing of the vessel's machinery and equipment to ensure they are functioning correctly and meet operational standards. Our testing protocols cover essential systems such as propulsion, navigation, communication, and safety equipment, providing clients with confidence in the vessel's performance and reliability.
-
Condition Reporting: Upon completion of the survey, we provide clients with detailed condition reports that summarize our findings and observations. Our reports include an assessment of the vessel's overall condition, highlighting any areas of concern or recommended maintenance and repair actions. We also provide recommendations for optimizing the vessel's performance and enhancing its safety and reliability.
