HISWA Pre-Purchase Survey or Condition Survey

Pre-purchase survey:
In what condition is a ship when you buy it? Could it be damaged by osmosis in the hull? Could the engine be defect? Could it cost you a lot more than you thought? That is why it is wise with transactions concerning ships or yachts to cover yourself. An HISWA pre-purchase survey gives you a clear picture of the technical condition of the yacht or other vessel that you propose to buy.

Condition survey:
Most insurance companies require a condition survey report of the ship that will be insured.
We are specialist in these types of survey. Duursma & Versluijs are locally and internationally recognized independent company based in The Netherlands, specializing in the field of yacht surveying.
