AMSA COMMERCIAL SURVEYS
As an AMSA-accredited marine surveyor, Queensland Ship Surveyors ensures compliance for your domestic commercial vessel (DCV).
CONDITION & VALUATION SURVEYS
Typically conducted for insurance or financing purposes in order to assess the fair market value. These surveys are performed when the vessel is either afloat or in dry dock.
CARGO LASHING & TOW OUT SURVEYS
Cargo lashing secures freight to prevent movement or loosening during transport, especially in rough seas, protecting both crew and cargo. QSS inspects and assesses cargo safety to ensure compliance with marine standards.
INSURANCE CLAIMS
If your vessel sustains damage at sea or in dry dock, a marine insurance claim survey is needed to determine the cause, nature, and extent of the damage. Queensland Ship Surveyors provides thorough inspections for hull, machinery, cargo equipment, and overall vessel damage.
on/off hire bunker cargo & hold
On-hire and off-hire surveys provide an independent survey of a vessels condition at the start and end of a charter. These assessments help determine any damage incurred during the charter period by comparing the vessel's condition before and after hire.
