This
comprehensive inspection is strongly advised when purchasing a new or
used vessel. The purpose of this marine survey is to provide the
buyer with the necessary tools to make informed and balanced
decisions regarding the vessel and to evaluate its general condition
and overall operation prior to purchase.
The
pre-purchase marine survey report is specifically tailored to provide
a clear and realistic assessment of the vessel. It includes a
detailed breakdown of recommendations made by the marine surveyor,
which are clearly graded as being essential, recommended or advisory.
This can be a useful tool to negotiate specific repairs or
price adjustments with the vendor as well as serving as a
maintenance and repair checklist post purchase.
