Condition Surveys

Survey Association will conduct a thorough survey to assess the vessel's physical condition and the effectiveness of onboard management.

Any deficiencies identified will be documented in a list provided to the Master or owners’ representative for rectification.

This list will also be sent to the customer along with the initial report, enabling the managers to take necessary action. Should repairs be required, a follow-up survey may be conducted after completion.

Throughout this process, Survey Association will remain available to offer assistance and guidance. Our services are rooted in integrity, efficiency, and the high standards of our 100-year heritage.

Common vessel types surveyed for condition assessments include:

• Cargo vessels (tankers, Ro-Ro, container, bulk)

• Passenger vessels

• Special purpose vessels

• Yacht/Small Merchant Vessel Surveys

• Offshore vessels and tugs

On-Hire Surveys / Off-Hire Surveys

Survey Association undertakes On-Hire / Off-Hire Surveys of vessels or marine structures before entering or being redelivered from a charter.

The survey report includes a detailed description of a vessel’s cargo spaces/deck area's structural condition, cargo space cleanliness, bunkers on board, a listing of the vessel’s statutory certificates, portable securing equipment, etc.

The survey also includes bunker stock and should differences arise in a bunker delivery operation, our experienced team can find the error, if any, or give out the right figures for third-party agreement.

Survey Association is committed to representing our customer’s best interests when hiring a vessel to limit their liability, by ensuring they have the correct information on the condition of the vessel and work required in respect of the Charter Party.
