As the name suggests, these surveys record the condition of pertinent parts of the vessel at commencement, or on completion, of a charter.  Relevant areas of the vessel where damage is likely to occur (deck, hold, rails, cargo gear, hatch covers etc,) are inspected according to factors concerning the charter.

A bunker survey is also carried out during the survey.  It is sometimes necessary for the bunker figures to be adjusted for a particular time and place when the On or Off Hire Survey comes into effect.  

A Condition Survey provides a comprehensive report concerning the condition of the vessel in question and is often nominated prior to clients negotiating vessel charter or change of owner.

• Services include:
• Survey and condition of the vessel.
