Marine surveys can help both private and commercial boat owners better understand their vessel’s condition, while also providing them with essential solutions to protect their valuable investment. Sun Coast Marine Surveying is an experienced marine surveying firm specializing in a variety of services tailored to the needs of different sectors.
Many private boat owners are unaware of the value in having a professional survey conducted on their boat. Conducting a marine survey ensures that buyers are making an informed purchase decision and can easily identify any issues present with the vessel. A buyer survey consists of a thorough inspection of the vessel and its equipment as well as any sea trials if necessary. It provides vital information such as age, construction, fuel consumption, safety features, pricing/valuation of the vessel and much more. All these elements must be taken into account when purchasing a used vessel.
Similarly, commercial vessels often require regular surveys to ensure compliance with maritime regulations. Major repairs or replacements need to be carried out regularly to guarantee safe operation and to comply with insurance standards. Commercial vessels are subjected to rigorous inspections for their safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Using up-to-date technology such as advanced non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, a full survey can accurately identify potential problems before they become costly repairs, saving businesses time and money.
Not only do marine surveys benefit private and commercial sectors, but they are also used extensively by government agencies and regulatory bodies. Essential marine operations including safety inspections, salvage operations, fish stock assessment and environmental surveys are commonly performed by commissioned surveyors. This includes recreational vessels, tugs & barges, pilot boats, cargo ships and fishing fleets. Moreover, surveyors provide cultural heritage consultancy services related to shipwrecks and other underwater structures. Sun Coast Marine Surveying has worked with various local authorities and governmental organisations across the globe in this regard.
