Our Core Third-Party Services
Vessel Inspections: Our highly experienced technical superintendents conduct thorough, unbiased vessel inspections for a wide range of purposes, including pre-purchase assessments, pre-charter surveys, and condition evaluations. We provide a detailed, objective report on the vessel’s structural integrity, machinery condition, maintenance status, and overall operational readiness. Our inspections go beyond surface checks, identifying potential issues, assessing compliance, and offering a clear picture of the vessel’s true state.
Review of Vessel Classification Records: Understanding a vessel’s classification history is paramount for assessing its long-term viability and compliance. We meticulously review all classification records, survey reports, and statutory certificates. Our experts analyze these documents to identify any outstanding recommendations, overdue surveys, class conditions, or potential issues that could impact future operations, insurance, or resale value. This detailed review provides a comprehensive risk assessment, ensuring transparency and mitigating unforeseen liabilities.
Advisory on Vessel Sale and Purchase (S&P): Navigating the complexities of vessel sale and purchase requires specialized knowledge. AGMS provides expert advisory services to both buyers and sellers, offering strategic guidance throughout the S&P process. Our support includes pre-purchase technical due diligence, valuation insights based on vessel condition and market trends, technical review of MOA clauses, and delivery condition verification. Our goal is to empower you with the technical clarity needed to negotiate effectively and secure advantageous deals.
Damage Survey: In the unfortunate event of a casualty or damage, our team conducts swift and comprehensive damage surveys. We accurately assess the extent of damage, determine the probable cause, estimate repair costs, and provide expert recommendations for remediation. Our detailed reports are crucial for insurance claims, dispute resolution, and planning efficient repairs, minimizing downtime and financial impact.
