Salus Remote Surveys

Salus marine surveys conduct surveys for our clients world wide. This week we are in Hong Kong conducting a pre purchase survey on a Superyacht for an Australian client.

Our survey will focus on structural integrity and condition of the yacht, while creating an inventory of all equipment onboard.

Due to the difficulty and expense of hauling the yacht out in Hong Kong this survey will include an underwater dive inspection of the hull. Richard Hewson is a certified ADAS commercial diver and will survey the hull personally.

Whilst an underwater survey does not allow for NDT testing such as TIR and hull moisture content readings, that we would normally conduct out of the water, we are still able to make a reasonable assessment of the hull condition and locate any damage, or deformities.

This survey will also include a complete rig inspection and sea trial. Because the yacht has not been sailed for a long time the mast will be inspected by drone, prior to a visual inspection.

We look forward to conducting a thorough inspection from stem to stern, keel bast to masthead and all the small components in between. A concise report will be delivered to our client and we trust it will aid in his decision and negotiations.
