Assured Excellence in Vessel Surveys

Structural Review Survey
The Structural Review Survey (SRS) is a specialized inspection developed to assess the structural integrity of vessels over fifteen years of age. Focused on detecting wear, corrosion, and potential damage, this survey ensures that aging assets remain safe, efficient, and compliant with international standards. Conducted by certified experts in maritime structural evaluation, the SRS provides owners and operators with clear insights into their vessel’s condition, supporting long-term reliability and operational continuity.

At Nautim, we are authorized and equipped to perform these comprehensive assessments. Using advanced technologies and proven methodologies, our team of experienced surveyors delivers a thorough evaluation of every critical structural element. Upon completion, clients receive a detailed report outlining findings and recommended actions to preserve the vessel’s integrity. This process not only secures compliance but also extends the operational life of the vessel with confidence and precision.

Conditional Survey for Leasing a Vessel
A Conditional Survey provides a full-scale evaluation of a vessel’s condition prior to a lease agreement, ensuring transparency and informed decision-making for all stakeholders. This inspection covers structural integrity, machinery, and overall operational performance, giving potential lessees a clear and accurate understanding of the vessel they are considering. Carried out by seasoned surveyors, the process identifies any issues that may influence safety, functionality, or future costs.

Following the survey, Nautim delivers a comprehensive report that documents the vessel’s condition at the time of inspection. This report highlights strengths, notes areas requiring attention, and sets realistic expectations for both lessor and lessee. By creating a factual foundation for negotiations, the Conditional Survey minimizes uncertainty and supports fair, balanced leasing agreements built on trust and clarity.

Purchase Inspection
A Purchase Inspection is a critical safeguard for buyers seeking to acquire a vessel, offering a clear and unbiased assessment of its overall condition. This inspection evaluates structural soundness, operational efficiency, and seaworthiness, ensuring that prospective owners are fully informed before making an investment. By uncovering both current and potential concerns, it provides the transparency needed to make confident purchasing decisions.

Nautim’s detailed inspection report serves as both a negotiation tool and a roadmap for future planning. Beyond documenting present condition, the report can include cost projections for necessary upgrades or repairs, helping buyers anticipate expenses and prepare for upcoming class surveys. This foresight ensures smoother transitions to ownership, better financial planning, and compliance with maritime requirements. With Nautim’s expertise, buyers gain clarity, security, and long-term value in their acquisition.

On/Off Hire Survey
The On/Off Hire Survey is an essential process for vessels entering or exiting a lease agreement, designed to establish a clear record of condition at both the start and end of the contractual period. Prior to hire, the survey provides a benchmark evaluation of the vessel’s structure, machinery, and equipment, ensuring that all parties agree on its operational status.

At the conclusion of the lease, a follow-up survey documents any changes, wear, or damages that may have occurred, covering everything from consumables to key systems. This objective, evidence-based approach protects both lessor and lessee by clarifying responsibilities and preventing disputes over repairs or compensation. With Nautim’s On/Off Hire Survey, vessel transitions are managed with accuracy, fairness, and transparency, ensuring smoother agreements and stronger working relationships.
