Let our 35+ years in the Marine Industry work for you. Insurance and BankingInsurance agencies and banks rely heavily on a survey to evaluate their risk and assign a value to your vessel. Banks and insurance companies defer to marine surveyors to advise them about potential risks and return on their 'investment'. Since many fiberglass vessels on the market are approaching 25 years of age or more, these institutions frequently require a survey.MarinasIncreasingly, marinas are requiring surveys to establish that a vessel seeking long term dock space will not sink or be abandoned and meets basic safety standards. All too often, the old boat that sinks at the dock has not moved in many years and did not have any insurance because it couldn't pass a survey. In order to keep costs and liability down, don't be surprised if a marina requests a basic safety survey prior to issuing a lease.RefinancingIf you plan on taking advantage of lower loan rates on your vessel, your lending institution may request a survey in order to evaluate how the vessel is being maintained and operated. Re-Appraisal You just installed a new generator to run the new climate control system, wouldn't it make sense to get a re-appraisal for the new value of your vessel? Whenever you complete major upgrades or a re-fit on your vessel, it's prudent to re-survey the vessel to capture the new value. |
