A Vessel Condition Survey is a critical inspection that provides an independent and comprehensive evaluation of a vessel's physical and operational state. At BGMS, we offer professional condition surveys conducted by certified marine surveyors to help vessel owners, operators, charterers, and prospective buyers make well-informed decisions regarding safety, maintenance, compliance, and value.

The main objectives of a vessel condition survey are to:

• Assess the general condition and seaworthiness of the vessel
   
• Identify any defects, deficiencies, or non-compliances
   
• Provide insight into necessary repairs, upgrades, or maintenance needs
   
• Offer a realistic valuation based on current condition and market standards
   

Whether for routine monitoring, pre-purchase evaluations, pre-charter inspections, or insurance assessments, our surveys serve as a trusted benchmark for vessel condition.

During a vessel condition survey, our surveyors typically inspect all accessible areas and systems, including:

• Hull Structure (above and below waterline)
   
• Deck and Superstructure
   
• Main and Auxiliary Machinery
   
• Electrical and Plumbing Systems
   
• Steering and Propulsion Systems
   
• Navigation and Communication Equipment
   
• Fire-Fighting and Life-Saving Appliances (FFA/LSA)
   
• Tank Conditions (Ballast, Fuel, Cargo)
   
• Interior Accommodation Areas
   
• Safety and Regulatory Compliance Documents
   

Each inspection is tailored to the vessel type, operational profile, and client requirements.

• Owners: To monitor the vessel’s health, plan maintenance, or prepare for sale
   
• Buyers: To evaluate the vessel before purchase and avoid costly surprises
   
• Charterers: To assess a vessel's suitability and compliance before hire
   
• Insurers & P&I Clubs: For risk assessment, claims validation, or underwriting
   
• Flag States & Port Authorities: For compliance with statutory and regulatory standards
