Scope of typical Pre-purchase or insurance
Survey
The vessel should be hauled out on a slipway, dry docked, held in
slings, or blocked off ashore to allow examination of the keel,
bottom, topsides, rudders, stern gear, skin fittings and decks.
Steel and aluminium alloy hulls are sounded externally and may be
ultrasound tested at the discretion of the surveyor or following
specific instructions from the client. Ultrasound testing fees are in
addition to the normal survey fee.
Wooden hulls are sounded externally and lightly probed at the
discretion of the surveyor. In some circumstances, sample fastenings
may be drawn for inspection with the permission of the owner.
GRP hulls are lightly sounded externally, and sample areas of
antifouling removed to expose laminate surface or applied coatings.
Exposed areas are examined for blistering or wicking, or other
defects. |

In the course of a standard pre-purchase or insurance survey
engines are inspected visually. Comment is made on general
condition, corrosion, indications of leaks etc. Condition of
hoses, hose clamps and belts, coolant and oil levels checked.
More extensive engine or sea trials can be arranged if
required.
