Condition Survey
Assess a vessel’s condition before purchase or at the commencement or change of charter, helping owners, buyers and charterers understand its condition and document its status.
Pre-Purchase Condition Surveys
Before acquiring a vessel, prospective buyers need a clear understanding of its condition to support their purchasing decisions. Candour Marine conducts condition assessments to help buyers evaluate a vessel’s apparent condition, identify areas of concern and make more informed decisions before proceeding with a purchase.
The survey findings provide a documented reference to support discussions between buyers, sellers and other relevant parties.
Professional Vessel Condition Surveys
A condition survey provides an assessment of a vessel’s physical condition at a specific point in time. It helps stakeholders understand the vessel’s existing condition, identify visible defects and document its status before a significant commercial or operational transition.
Charter Handover Condition Surveys
Condition surveys are also important when a vessel enters a charter arrangement or is handed over between charterers. Whether the vessel is hired for a single voyage or a longer period of one, two or three years, documenting its condition at the relevant handover provides a useful reference for the parties involved.
A charter condition survey helps establish the vessel’s recorded condition at the start of the relevant charter period or during a change of charterer. This documentation can support handover procedures, clarify the vessel’s condition at the time of transfer and assist with subsequent comparisons, where appropriate.
Our Approach
Candour Marine’s condition survey service is focused on providing a clear, structured assessment of the vessel within the agreed scope of inspection. The survey scope, inspection arrangements and reporting requirements are established according to the vessel, port, purpose of the survey and the parties’ requirements.
Whether you are considering a vessel for purchase or arranging a charter handover, our team can help coordinate the survey and provide a report documenting the findings within the agreed scope.
Enquire with Candour Marine to discuss your vessel, location and survey requirements.
