What Are Maritime Inspections?
Maritime inspections involve a thorough assessment of vessels, cargo, and operational processes to ensure adherence to regulatory standards, safety protocols, and contractual obligations.
These inspections range from condition surveys, bunker surveys, and hatch cover testing to on/off-hire condition assessments and cargo pre-loading inspections.
At Nordic Maritime Solutions, our maritime inspection services are tailored to mitigate risks, prevent losses, and support clients in achieving seamless maritime operations.
Our Maritime Inspection Services
Condition Surveys
These surveys evaluate various components of the physical condition of marine vessels, cargo, or equipment. They help ensure the structural integrity of, e.g., a ship’s structure, etc.
Thorough inspections that are vital for identifying potential issues that could affect operational efficiency or safety.
Cargo Surveys and Inspections
For the breakbulk industry, cargo surveys such as pre-loading inspections and damaged cargo assessments ensure that goods are loaded, transported, and delivered in optimal condition.
Bunker and Draft Surveys
Bunker surveys measure the quantity of fuel onboard a vessel, while draft surveys determine a vessel’s displacement. Both are crucial for maintaining operational transparency and efficiency.
Hatch Cover Testing
This inspection ensures the watertight integrity of hatch covers, preventing water ingress and accidents that can damage cargo during transportation.
Dynamic Positioning and Vessel Inspections
Specialized services, including dynamic positioning trials and vessel inspections, guarantee compliance with industry-specific standards.
