Yacht & Gulet Appraisals

Due to distance and time constraints it is not always possible for prospective purchasers to view every vessel that may be of interest.  BMS offers a service that allows for the inspection of perhaps one , two or several vessels.  The report will contain photographs, a brief summary of the vessels condition, ultrasonic measurements if requested and allow the interested party to make an informed decision as to thesuitability of the vessel for their purpose. Please contact us for further details.  At a later stage a more comprehensive survey can be completed on the final selected vessel for purchase or for insurance purposes, at a reduced fee.

Pre-delivery/New Construction Surveys

The emphasis here is to ensure the vessel has been completed to specification.  BMS surveyors attend sailing trials and make recommendations on everything from the cut of the sails to checking gearbox serial numbers. In addition inventory checks are made to ensure that all items are on board and the vessel itself meets the specification in the contract, in addition to being in compliance with UK, EEA, RCD or MCA or other standards as required.

Osmosis Checks/Repair Supervision

We can inspect and report on hull condition, recommend a course of action and prevention if necessary and oversee the repair. Please contact us for further information.

Ultrasonic Hull Surveys

Using the latest Cygnus Instruments digital ultrasonic 4 gauge we can measure the thickness of steel and aluminium hulls with minimal surface preparation and without the need to remove surface coatings. GRP and composite hulls can also be measured with our SE gauge identifying delamination and deep blistering.
