Marine Survey Service

Condition Survey

Comprehensive assessment of hull, machinery and equipment for P&I, insurance or operational purposes.

Service Overview

Condition surveys for risk and operations

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.

Findings are prioritised so technical and commercial teams can act on the most important items first.

Common Questions

Condition Survey FAQ

Is a condition survey the same as a Pre-Purchase Inspection?

They overlap in method but differ in purpose and depth. Pre-Purchase is tailored to acquisition risk; condition surveys often follow club or underwriter checklists.

Can you attend in dry dock?

Yes, when the vessel is scheduled for docking and access is arranged through the yard and owners.
