Frequently Asked Questions
We have chosen a few common questions we receive and listed them here.
Q: What is your Fee structure?
A: For each vessel the fees are different. We
charge a daily rate. The amount of time it takes to inspect
the vessel depends on many things including the type and build of
the vessel and how many systems and how complicated they are. We
encourage you to share as much information about the vessel and the
condition it is in. We then issue you a cost estimate for your
approval. After your approval a deposit of half of the
estimate is taken by credit card to confirm the inspection.

A: The report writing usually take the same amount
of time that you spend during the inspection. The report comes
to you shortly after the inspection.
