SERVICES

PRE PURCHASE SURVEY - A comprehensive and objective look at a vessel before purchase is completed. Survey must be performed out of the water, and may include engine oil analysis and a sea trial.
Typically this survey report will run to 12-15 pages and takes most of a day on site with a further day to write the report.

CONDITION AND VALUE SURVEY- Usually conducted for insurance updating purposes. Sometimes can be conducted in water, dependent on Insurance company desires. A slightly less detailed report than a pre purchase survey, it is intended to confirm that the vessel remains in a seaworthy condition and is being adequately maintained.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT - Performed when a vessel has been involved in a collision or grounding. Determines extent of damage, likely extent of repairs needed. May include opinions as to cause if necessary.

CORROSION PROBLEMS - Captain Beckett has successfully completed the  ABYC Certified Corrosion Technician Course and is available for consultation on this subject.

INSURANCE CLAIMS - Prompt accurate service. Including initial reports, thorough investigation, and adjustment.

NEW CONSTRUCTION AND PROJECT MANAGEMENT - Overseeing and management services available locally or offshore for vessel construction, repair or commissioning.

CONSULTING - We can provide preparation assistance for litigation on marine matters. Testimony can be made available on items which fall within our field of expertise.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR BOATERS - A series of brochures have been prepared on various boating safety and maintenance topics. These brochures are based on the combined experience of several marine surveyors and contain easy to read common sense advice. Copies are available at suitable locations in the Greater Victoria area, or can be had on request.

CONTRACTING FOR A SURVEYOR - There are many reputable surveyors around, but please remember, marine surveying is an unregulated business. Make sure you know what you are contracting for before you sign. Look carefully at credentials, experience and practice. Don't be afraid to ask hard questions. If in doubt, call for our brochure on this subject. There is no obligation.

FEE STRUCTURE - For pre purchase surveys of smaller vessels, fees are usually charged by the foot. For other activities and larger or unique vessels, an hourly rate covering the length of time necessary to complete the job and write the report applies. No travel expenses are charged within 50 miles of Victoria. Beyond that distance charges are for "actual and reasonable expenses only". Call for a quote.
