Pre Purchase Inspection

What is a Vessel Pre-purchase Inspection?

We offer pre-purchase vessel condition assessment services on major ports around the world. 

Our inspectors have Ocean Going Chief Engineer & Ocean Going  Master and Technical / Marine  Superintendent backgrounds and conduct the most efficient yet detailed assessments of the vessel condition.They help to identify businesses’ exposure to potential risks from the purchase of second-hand vessels.

It is best to have an independent professional ship inspection for the Pre-purchase assessment of secondhand Shipping Assets. Ayman Marine provides a thorough and data-driven vessel condition assessment that enables our clients to make intelligent investment decisions.

Our entire process through appointing an inspector to the final report is standardized to bring a reliable and accurate assessment of vessel conditions to our clients. Our standardized reports provide our clients with an opportunity to make faster investment decisions as they can easily compare multiple target vessels to common & detailed assessment criteria.

Prior to the ship inspection, our technical team conducts background research into the vessel (using previous surveys, PSC & Class records & other available sources) to identify areas that require extra attention during the inspection.

Our standard vessel pre-purchase inspections typically take 12-15 hours of visual examination onboard followed by a review of vessel performance records. However, if the vessel stays in the port for a shorter period, we try to accommodate such cases by appointing two inspectors.

Our inspector updates our technical team prior to disembarking the vessel to ensure all crucial aspects of assessment are covered. We then deliver a preliminary report along with the ship photographs, within 24 hours of the inspector’s disembarkation. The preliminary report has enough information and insights to be used as a decision-making tool.

Within 72 hours of delivering the preliminary report, we provide our clients with a full report that is more detailed, highly accurate & technical. We remain available to our clients to answer any questions they may have after the delivery of the final report.
