What are P&I Surveys? 

 

 

 

A P&I survey is a preventative health check for your vessel and its operations. Unlike statutory surveys required by class or flag state, our surveys are tailored to identify risks that directly impact your P&I exposure. Our experienced surveyors conduct thorough inspections and interviews to provide you with actionable recommendations.

 

 

Common types of P&I Surveys we offer include: 

 

 

 ➢ Pre-entry Surveys: Assessing a vessel's condition and operational                 standards prior to accepting it into our club or offering insurance terms.

 

 ➢ Condition & Risk Management Surveys: Periodic reviews of vessels             already entered, focusing on safety management systems, crew                     competency, and vessel maintenance.

 

 ➢ Cargo-Related Surveys: Inspections of holds, hatch covers, and cargo           securing arrangements to prevent damage and claims.

 

 ➢ Crew Habitability & Safety Surveys: Ensuring living and working                 conditions meet or exceed international standards to prevent crew                 illness and injury.

 

 ➢ Incident Follow-up Surveys: Investigating the root cause of an incident       to prevent recurrence.

 

 

 

Our P&I Survey Process

1. Request & Scoping: You contact us to request a survey. We discuss the scope and objectives to ensure the inspection meets your specific needs.

 

 

 

2. Onboard Inspection: Our surveyor spends a day (or more) onboard, inspecting the vessel, reviewing documentation, and engaging with the master and crew.

3. Detailed Reporting: You receive a comprehensive, confidential report detailing our findings, complete with photographs and clear, prioritized recommendations.

4. Ongoing Support: We don't just hand you a report. We are available to discuss the findings and assist you in developing a plan for implementation.
