Types of Marine Surveys Your guarantee of quality in a marine survey comes from the surveyor's credentials. There are no government standards for marine surveyors so it is important for the client to check what professional organization(s) the surveyor is a member of. One of the premiere organizations is the Society of Accredited Marine Surveyors of which Organization Mr. Craig has been a member for nearly fifteen years. A pre-purchase survey allows a client to make an informed decision regarding the purchase or purchase price he/she is considering for ownership. Condition and Value surveys are often performed to obtain financing or insurance coverage. The amount financed or insured is derived from the surveyors appraisal. Damage Surveys are usually performed to evaluate the cost and extent of repairs resulting from insurable incidents. Cargo Surveys are performed to evaluate potential damage to shipments carried at some point on the water in their trans-shipment. The surveyor makes suggestions to reduce the exposure of the cargo to damaging incidents. If damage or loss has been sustained, the surveyor assigns values to the damaged or lost cargo as well as possible salvage. Within these broad categories, the client may request modifications to satisfy individual requirements Cargo Surveys Professional Experience Geographically located in the near proximity of four of the nation's busiest interstate highways, A-OK is positioned to quickly deal with incidents concerning containers being transshipped.
