Ship Inspection & Audit Solutions
Supporting shipowners and managers with expert oversight, technical evaluations, and international compliance — ensuring smooth operations and minimized risks at sea and in port.
Pre-Purchase Inspections
A pre‑purchase inspection is critical for assessing the true technical and operational condition of a vessel before investment. Our inspections provide buyers with a clear, objective evaluation of the ship’s structure, machinery, safety systems, and documentation—helping avoid costly surprises post-acquisition.
Our experts conduct detailed onboard surveys covering:
- Hull and deck condition
- Engine room and auxiliary systems
- Navigation, safety, and firefighting equipment
- Cargo systems and operational readiness
- Class records and statutory documentation
You’ll receive a comprehensive report with photos, key findings, and practical recommendations—giving you the confidence to make informed decisions, negotiate effectively, or walk away from high-risk deals.
Inspect before you invest.

Ship Condition Surveys
We carry out independent condition surveys to assess the overall state of a vessel’s hull, machinery, safety systems, and cargo equipment. These inspections support technical management, chartering decisions.
Our surveys are structured and objective, covering:
- Structural integrity and watertightness
- Engine room and auxiliary systems
- Deck and cargo gear functionality
- Safety and firefighting equipment
- Documentation and compliance status
You receive a clear condition report with observations and, if required, practical recommendations for repair or follow-up action.
Know the true condition. Plan with confidence.

Superintendent Inspections
We provide full-scope superintendent services on behalf of shipowners and managers — ideal when your in-house superintendent is unavailable or when additional support is required. Acting as the owner’s representative on board, we handle the complete technical and operational oversight of the vessel.
Our scope typically includes:
- Full technical walk-through and systems check with the crew
- Monitoring of ongoing maintenance and repair works
- Verification of safety culture, drills, and crew familiarization
- Review of technical documentation and compliance records
- Liaison between vessel and office, ensuring smooth communication
- Immediate reporting with prioritized recommendations
All our inspectors are ex–Chief Engineers or senior marine officers with hands-on vessel management experience. We deliver the same level of diligence and authority you would expect from your own superintendent — ensuring operational efficiency, compliance, and safety.
Your full superintendent service — whenever and wherever you need it.
ISM, ISPS, and MLC Audits
We conduct internal audits in accordance with the ISM Code, ISPS Code, and MLC 2006 requirements, helping shipowners and managers maintain compliance and readiness for flag or class audits.
Our auditors assess both onboard and office-level implementation of:
- ISM (Safety Management System performance and compliance)
- ISPS (Ship Security Plan effectiveness and security levels)
- MLC (crew welfare, employment conditions, and living standards)
With extensive seagoing and audit experience, we provide structured audits, clear findings, and practical corrective action guidance—all tailored to your vessel type, trading pattern, and company procedures.
Compliance is not optional—it’s operational.

Preparation for Port State Control (PSC) Inspection
A PSC detention can damage a vessel’s reputation, delay operations, and lead to financial losses. We support shipowners and operators in preparing for upcoming PSC inspections with a practical, targeted approach focused on the most frequent deficiency areas.
Our preparation includes:
- Full walkthrough based on PSC procedures and focus areas
- Review of statutory certificates, crew documents, and logbooks
- Verification of safety equipment, pollution prevention, and operational readiness
- Crew familiarization and drill performance checks
- Advice based on latest regional PSC trends (e.g., Paris MoU, Tokyo MoU)
Our team helps your crew gain confidence and your vessel pass with minimal or zero deficiencies.
Be inspection-ready. Avoid costly detentions.
