MARINE WARRANTY SURVEYS

 
 
 

Marine Warranty Surveyors

Coastwise surveyors are trained and accredited in Marine Warranty Surveying ensuring the best industry practices and correct procedures are followed in the planning and execution of critical marine and cargo operations. Our warranty activities include towage/tow approvals survey, cargo stowage, heavy-lift operations, construction projects, carriage of yachts, lay-up/moorings, shipyard risk assessments, ports and terminal inspections.

The essential function of the marine surveyor is to assess the risks involved with the entire marine venture. Based on the client instructions, the marine warranty surveyor provides independent third-party technical review and approval of high value and high-risk marine construction and transportation project operations, from the planning stages through to the physical execution.

 
 

Scope of Marine Warranty Surveys Services and Responsibility

The marine warranty surveyor, unless hired to serve as marine consultant, is appointed to protect the interest of the underwriter. To carry out the duty properly, the surveyor should only approve marine operations that would not have considerable risk of damaging property, human life and the environment. Although all marine operations carry some “risk” element, it is essential that these risks are kept “as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP). The MW surveyor may note that the marine warranty companies are not contractually obligated with any of the assured’s contractors, e.g., tug operators, shipyards, installation contractor, riggers, designers, etc and can therefore issue no instructions to them. Although an experienced mariner (surveyor) is the one who has the final authority to issue the Certificate of Approval, and is visible during the actual marine operations, the marine warranty services consist of five basic elements;

  • Review engineering documents and calculations,

  • Verify equipment and related certificates,

  • Review marine operation procedures,

  • Attend marine operations,

  • Prepare a report.
