Sale & Purchase (S&P)
A Sale and Purchase (S&P) inspection is an assessment conducted on a vessel or ship during the process of buying or selling it. The purpose of this survey is to evaluate the condition, seaworthiness, and overall value of the vessel. It provides crucial information to the buyer and seller, helping them make informed decisions regarding the sale or purchase.
A Sale and Purchase (S&P) inspection is a critical step in the process of buying or selling a vessel. It helps ensure transparency, provides an objective evaluation of the vessel’s condition, and assists in determining a fair price. By conducting this survey, both parties can make informed decisions and mitigate potential risks associated with the transaction.
Ship Vetting
A Ship Vetting inspection is an assessment conducted to evaluate the suitability and safety of a ship for a specific task or operation and to ensure the vessel meets certain standards, complies with regulations, and poses minimal risk in terms of safety, environmental impact, and operational performance.
Ship Vetting inspections are typically conducted as part of a pre-charter assessment or ongoing vetting process to ensure that vessels meet the requirements and standards set by charterers, oil companies, or other entities involved in maritime operations. These inspections help mitigate risks,
enhance safety, protect the environment, and maintain operational efficiency within organisations.
On/Off-Hire Condition Survey
The On/off-hire Condition Survey is performed to assess the condition of a vessel at the time of its delivery (on-hire) or redelivery (off-hire) to/from a charterer or owner. The survey will document the condition of the vessel or equipment and determine any changes or damages that may have occurred during the charter period.
The purpose of an On/Off-Hire Survey is to establish a baseline condition for the vessel or equipment before it enters or leaves a charter period. It helps protect both parties’ interests by documenting any pre-existing damages or changes that may affect liability for repairs or financial settlements. Additionally, it ensures transparency and facilitates smooth transitions between charterers or owners, providing an accurate record of the vessel or equipment’s condition at the time of handover or redelivery.
