WHAT WE DO

New building Supervision

Creating value for the owner by being present at all time during construction, thus assuring that all work is being made according to specification, class rules, international regulation and good craftsmanship. We make sure that all equipment is correctly installed and endurance tested for proper operation.

Delivery and Sea Trial Support

We offer to go onboard your vessel before sea-trial and issue a status report with remarks on all deviation to specification and good craftsmanship. During sea trial, we will ensure that all tests are carried out to high standard procedures.

At delivery, we ensure that all required documentation, certificates, test reports, operation manuals and drawing are handled over to owner. Minimum critical spare parts, tools and other requirements mentioned in the specification is checked as well.

Our condition surveys will give the customer a clear picture of the condition of the entire vessel from ballast and cargo tanks/holds – across cargo equipment, main and auxiliary engines, boilers, accommodation and navigation equipment, to maintenance history, class history and vessel certificates. Other services offered could be pre-purchase / bareboat charter inspections etc.
