Independent Support.
Owner-Side Perspective.

Pre-Purchase Vessel Inspection

Independent onboard assessment before acquisition.

• Physical vessel condition and selected operational tests
• Defect identification and documentation review
• Maintenance backlog and class / statutory observations
• Photo-supported findings and acquisition risk summary
• Negotiation-relevant findings

Owner's Representative

Independent onboard presence acting on behalf of the owner or prospective buyer.

• Vessel attendance and verification of agreed conditions
• Reporting directly to the principal
• Monitoring identified issues
• Communication with shipboard management
• Follow-up of agreed corrective actions

Vessel Takeover & Delivery Attendance

Support during acquisition, handover or management transition.

• Delivery condition verification and outstanding defect review
• Certificate / document check
• Onboard operational readiness
• Handover observations and punch-list preparation
• Immediate priorities after takeover

Inspection Readiness

Identify potential deficiencies before the attending authority or inspector does.

• PSC and flag inspection readiness
• Preparation for class attendance
• Vetting and internal audit preparation within agreed scope
• Takeover inspection readiness
• Prioritised deficiency review and corrective-action follow-up

Readiness support does not determine the outcome of an authority inspection.

Remote Vessel Acquisition Screening

Initial risk screening before committing to a full onboard inspection.

• Available class and statutory information
• Survey exposure and dry-dock timing
• Documented defects and maintenance indicators
• Key red flags and questions for the seller
• Recommended onboard verification points

A preliminary review does not replace physical onboard inspection.
