Authorized Marine Surveys in the Mediterranean

 
​Exposing hidden defects before your Mediterranean dream sinks. Uncompromising Swedish engineering expertise on-site from Palma to the Aegean Sea.

​The Mediterranean is Europe’s largest and most dynamic yacht market, but it is also an environment where heavily stressed charter fleets, substandard structural repairs, and severe climate degradation hide beneath a polished gelcoat. In the heat of the Mediterranean sun, pushed by local brokers aiming for a swift closing, it is remarkably easy to overlook catastrophic material failures.

Buying a yacht from abroad involves massive risks. Local surveyors and brokers frequently operate within tight-knit economic networks where absolute impartiality can be compromised. As an authorized Swedish marine inspector and mechanical engineer, I hold no local ties or hidden interests. My loyalty belongs exclusively to you. I deliver bulletproof technical evidence and structural verification of the highest international standard.

 
🛑 Pre-Purchase & Charter-Exit Surveys

We perform a surgical forensic audit of the vessel's true structural condition before you transfer your capital. We investigate exactly how the yacht has been maintained, identify hidden structural deficiencies, and guarantee compliance with strict international safety standards. Hidden structural damage to keels and rudders from groundings is statistically common but often skillfully hidden cosmetically.

 
🔬 The Mediterranean Hazard: Why Warm Waters Accelerate Decay

  • Accelerated Osmosis: High temperatures and salinity act as a powerful catalyst for osmosis, destroying hull integrity from within before visible blisters emerge.

  • Structural Fatigue & Hard Groundings: Massive cyclical loads from demanding charter operations. Rapid, purely cosmetic yard patches after groundings are standard practice.

  • Severe UV Degradation & Stray Current Electrolysis: Intense solar radiation degrades composite structures. Overcrowded marinas with poor shore power create aggressive galvanic currents that dissolve thrusters and sail-drives.

 
⚙️ Diagnostics Without Compromise: Our Methodology

We bring advanced non-destructive marine engineering technology directly to the dock:

  • Advanced Hull Analysis (NDT): Ultrasonic technology and deep-matrix moisture mapping to detect delamination, structural voids, and early-stage osmosis.

  • Powertrain Audits & Thermal Imaging: Infrared thermography to uncover hidden electrical resistance, clogged heat exchangers, and internal hot spots.

  • Keel, Rudder & Rigging Verification: Surgical evaluation of critical structural elements, keel bolts, and rigging for micro-fractures.

 
🌊 Bluewater Readiness: Built for the High Seas

Whether you plan to cruise locally, sail back to Northern Europe, or prepare for a transatlantic passage, we verify that the yacht’s load-bearing structures possess the engineering margins required.

 
📑 The Outcome: The Bulletproof Survey Report

You receive an extensive, legally sound technical report (English or Swedish). Recognized by premium international marine underwriters (Pantaenius, Lloyd's) and your definitive escape hatch from a compromised investment.
