📋 Our Core Survey Services

🛥️ 1. Pre-Purchase Condition & Valuation Survey

The ultimate risk mitigation for yacht buyers. A rigorous, bow-to-stern inspection designed to uncover hidden defects before a transaction. This helps you fulfill your legal "duty of inspection" while providing a complete overview of the vessel's true state.

Includes: Moisture mapping, osmosis screening, rig inspection (deck level), electrical system overview, and sea trial.
Deliverable: A legally robust, detailed condition report and current market valuation.

⚖️ 2. Forensic Damage & Insurance Surveys

When visual inspections are not enough. When catastrophic failures, groundings, or complex material fatigue occur, we conduct deep-dive forensic analyses to determine the exact cause and extent of the damage. We provide irrefutable documentation for insurance claims, repair yards, and legal disputes. For lawyers and clients requiring indisputable evidence in court proceedings, please visit our dedicated portal for Marine Expert Witness Testimony

🔍 3. Advanced NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) & Ultrasound

Seeing beyond the surface. Pioneering the use of systematic hull diagnostics, we utilize advanced ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) and NDT techniques. This ensures absolute certainty regarding plate thickness, hidden corrosion, and internal structural voids in steel, aluminum, and GRP hulls—without compromising the integrity of the vessel.

💻 4. Digital ECU & Engine Diagnostics

Uncovering the true history of your powertrain.

Modern marine engines require digital solutions. Using state-of-the-art diagnostic software, we extract live data, fault codes, and historical operational profiles directly from the Engine Control Unit (ECU). We identify over-revving, thermal events, and hidden sensor failures that a standard mechanical visual inspection will completely miss.For deeper insights and specialized engine diagnostics, visit our dedicated technical portal at Båtjouren.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between a standard visual inspection and a forensic hull analysis?

A standard visual inspection relies on the surveyor's eyesight and basic tools to assess the surface condition. Forensic hull analysis utilizes advanced technology, such as ultrasonic thickness measurement (UTM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT), to detect hidden structural flaws, internal corrosion, and delamination that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

Why do I need a digital ECU diagnostic?

Modern marine engines are highly computerized. A traditional mechanical inspection cannot detect hidden sensor failures, historical thermal events, or over-revving. By extracting live data directly from the Engine Control Unit (ECU), we uncover the true operational history and current health of the powertrain.

Are your marine survey reports accepted by international insurance institutions?

Yes. Our final reports deliver a definitive verdict that is unconditionally trusted and relied upon by buyers, syndicates, financial institutions, and insurance companies worldwide.
