Vessel class inspection

Overview

Our company, in collaboration with partner companies, provides a full range of services for preparing a vessel for survey: we conduct inspections and defect assessments of the hull, mechanisms, and systems, repair malfunctioning elements, eliminate deficiencies that may hinder the further operation of the vessel, prepare the necessary documentation, and assist in passing the survey.

Preparation for ship surveys is carried out based on certificates and in accordance with the rules of classification societies. Cooperation with classification societies, members of IRS, and private Class society organizations allows us to reduce the time spent on solving production tasks.

Scope of services

TYPES OF EXAMINATIONS PROVIDED BY OUR COMPANY:

  • Annual surveys are conducted to confirm the vessel's class and ensure compliance with technical regulations and safety requirements. Experts check the changes in composition, completeness, design, location, and technical condition of the objects on the vessel. A visual assessment of the ship's condition, inspection, and testing of the ship's equipment is being conducted. The date of the annual inspection is specified in the Classification Certificate, and based on it, the date of the next inspection is determined.
  • The periodic survey is conducted every 5 years and represents an extensive technical inspection of the vessel, upon favorable outcome of which the vessel is deemed compliant with the requirements for maintaining its class. During such an inspection, the regulatory organization will thoroughly check the operation of all mechanisms, devices, and installations, conduct an external inspection of the vessel, and test it in action.
  • Extraordinary surveys are conducted to check the suitability and safety of the vessel's operation after accidents, significant equipment replacements, re-planning, and reconstruction.
  • When buying or selling a vessel, you will need to obtain an objective assessment of the technical condition of the hull, machinery, and equipment. Technical inspection is an integral part of the contract between the seller and the buyer. The company's specialists will conduct a comprehensive expert evaluation and provide a report.
