Loss Prevention survey
With Loss Prevention surveys our consultants conduct risk surveys to identify the exposure to property damage or loss. Our survey reports contain loss prevention plans aimed at assessing the overall condition and operation of an insured vessel and to allow us to identify valuable recommendations for mitigating risks, in order to enhance the Owner’s own loss prevention measures.
Risks analysis investigation

Cargo space suitability
Cargo space suitability inspections are generally conducted on behalf of insurers to determine “cargo-worthiness” of vessels for high value or project cargo critical / key item shipments, or for chartered vessels, or for vessels under consideration for charter, that fall outside of insurance policy conditions and the survey consists of a physical inspection to determine the relative safety and fitness of a vessel for carriage of a subject cargo on a particular voyage.
Hatch cover inspection
Hatch cover inspection is usually required us before loading cargo in order to verify that cargo hatch covers are in watertight condition seaworthiness. For this purpose Ultrasonic Tests are carried out by ultrasonic class approved equipment operated by our qualified personnel.
