Damage Survey

Technical assessment of damage to vessel, equipment, and onboard systems — neutral, traceable, and documented according to international standards.

Independent Assessment of Technical Damage

A damage survey provides a neutral determination, documentation, and evaluation of damage to the vessel, equipment, or technical installations. The results form the basis for insurers, shipowners, shipyards, and legal proceedings. I conduct damage surveys independently, with technical precision, and with complete documentation.

What Does a Damage Survey Include?

1. Visual Inspection of the Damage

Recording the damage pattern, affected areas, and surrounding conditions.

2. Technical Analysis

Assessment of possible causes, considering operation, loads, material condition, and technical processes.

3. Inspection of the Affected Equipment

Examination of machinery, deck equipment, safety systems, or technical installations.

4. Photographic Documentation

Complete photographic recording of the damage and all relevant details.

5. Preparation of the Survey Report

Structured report including damage description, assessment, cause analysis, and recommendations for further action.
