Marine Services undertakes many different forms of marine survey work, including the following:-

Surveys for hull and outfit certification

This service is provided for new vessels which require construction certification. We offer various options with regard to the survey arrangements. Clients may opt for a basic service whereupon inspections can be kept to the minimum number necessary for certification. Alternatively, stage surveys can be arranged at fixed intervals to form a financial control for the release of payments from owner to boat builder.

LSA surveys

Marine Services is authorised to inspect and certify the Life Saving Appliances aboard new fishing vessels under 15 metres length overall. This service is usually included in the construction certification survey process.

Condition surveys

Our surveyors can perform annual inspections to assess the condition of a vessel, providing a comprehensive report listing any defects and recommendations.

Pre-purchase surveys

We provide this service to prospective boat buyers who wish to confirm the particulars of a vessel prior to purchase.

Surveys for FIFG grants

Marine Services regularly performs surveys of vessels which are subject to the possibility of an FIFG grant.

 

Consultancy and Survey / Certification Services

With over 100 years combined experience in the ship construction industry, our marine survey team offers a comprehensive consultancy and inspection / certification service ensuring that vessels are built to meet statutory safety and construction requirements. We are authorised by the MCA to certify the following types of vessels, measuring up to 24 metres registered length:

• Fishing vessels
• Patrol boats

• Work boats

All vessels are certified to the Seafish Construction Standards (in conjunction with MGN 280 in the case of workboats) which are in compliance with the relevant codes of practice published by the MCA. Click here to view some of the vessels we have certified in the past.

Re-measurement and Tonnage Calculations

We are also authorised by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency to undertake re-measurement and tonnage calculations to meet EU Tonnage Regulations (ITC69).

This service is available for fishing vessels of 15 metres overall length through to 24 metres LBP (length between perpendiculars). If there is any doubt of the vessel's LBP, one of our marine surveyors will be able to advise.
