An insurance survey provides a detailed assessment of a vessel’s physical condition, operational integrity, and regulatory compliance. It enables underwriters to determine the insurability, assess risk levels, and establish fair premium rates. It also protects owners by identifying areas needing maintenance or repair.
Insurance companies typically mandate insurance surveys before offering or renewing policies. In some cases, they may be required by port authorities, classification societies, or maritime regulators, especially for older vessels or those operating in high-risk regions.
There are several types including:
Pre-insurance surveys (for first-time coverage),
Renewal surveys,
Damage or incident surveys,
Condition and valuation (C&V) surveys,
Loss prevention surveys,
each tailored to different needs and situations.
It typically includes a full inspection of:
Hull structure
Machinery and propulsion systems
Navigational and communication equipment
Safety and lifesaving gear
Firefighting systems
Cargo handling systems
Maintenance records
Compliance with IMO, SOLAS, MARPOL, and class standards
Only certified and experienced marine surveyors should conduct these assessments. At Aveeda Marine, our surveys are conducted by seasoned professionals such as Master Mariners and Chief Engineers, ensuring compliance, thoroughness, and credibility.
A comprehensive survey report is generated, including photographic evidence, equipment lists, inspection notes, condition ratings, defect observations, and recommendations. This report is shared with the shipowner and the insurance provider.
Surveys are scheduled to minimise disruption. However, access to all critical areas is required, which may necessitate temporary pauses in operations. Efficient planning and onboard cooperation can reduce downtime.
