Getting Your Vessel Ready For A Marine Survey with A Qualified Surveyor

Marine Surveys at Ship Repair New Zealand

Marine Surveys are common in the boating and marine world – and if you own a vessel you know it’s one of those things you plan for.

It’s a bit like a warrant of fitness for your car or a certificate of fitness for a large vehicle – they all require a detailed inspection with a stamp of approval at the end of the process.

Getting Your Ship Suitable For Qualified Marine Survey Experts

Our team here at Ship Repair NZ is New Zealand’s most experienced ship refit and repair specialists. We are experts in the field of survey.

Every survey we get a ship prepared for should be undertaken by a qualified and experienced survey expert – and not all marine surveyors are created equal. Here at Ship Repair NZ, we are renowned for doing detailed inspections in a timely turnaround manner for vessels big and small. When the vessel is looking likely to pass survey, we’ll work with you to help you pursue that certification.

Quite often, maintenance work is also carried out while the vessel is under survey, something we can undertake for you too. We recently have completed a number of projects where makeovers were undertaken while the vessel was in the dry dock. View a recent marine survey project…

Marine Surveys for Insurance

A marine survey just doesn’t cover the seaworthiness of a vessel – it is also often a requirement for you to be able to insure your boat, tug, ship, cruise ship, or luxury launch.

Marine surveys cover everything you would expect including inspecting the structure of the vessel, the machinery on board, as well as its equipment (such as navigational), as well as inspecting the general condition of the boat or ship.

Overall, investing in getting your vessel ready for survey means you know you are safe when out in open waters – so make sure you don’t use just anyone. Don’t look any further – come aboard with us.
