On and Off Hire Surveys

As a well-established, independent and impartial company, Weselmann is often appointed to conduct on-hire or off-hire surveys.

We assess and thoroughly document the condition of the vessel or barge. On-hire or off-hire condition surveys include consumables such as bunker, lube oils, water, parts etc.

These surveys can be conducted on behalf of the charterers or the owners or as a joint survey as well if both parties agree. 

Scope of Survey
