Comprehensive assessment of hull, machinery and equipment for P&I, insurance or operational purposes.
A condition survey provides a structured snapshot of a vessel’s physical state. It may be required by P&I clubs for entry or follow-up, by hull underwriters after an incident, or by owners and managers as part of technical oversight.
YMR Marine surveyors examine accessible areas of hull and structure, machinery spaces, deck equipment and safety systems, and review class and statutory status where relevant to the instruction.
