Hull and Machinery
Hull and machinery surveys are inspections carried out on ships to ensure that the hull (the ship's main body) and its machinery are in good condition and meet safety standards. These surveys are typically conducted annually and thoroughly examine the ship's structure, equipment, and systems.
During the survey, a surveyor checks for any signs of damage, wear, or corrosion and ensures all components function correctly. This includes examining the hull, deck, hatch covers, machinery, and other critical parts of the ship. The goal is to identify and address potential issues that could compromise the ship's safety and seaworthiness.
