In this context, various non-destructive testing methods are applied with calibration-certified control devices by expert teams that are specialized in their fields and certified by accredited institutions.

These are;

• Checking the metal losses that may occur due to corrosion in the hulls of steel or aluminum boats and measuring the sheet thickness at critical points,

• General condition and crack checks on the propeller,

• General condition and crack checks on the keel hull,

• General ultrasonic scanning and crack check in stress areas or areas subject to corrosion, including superstructure and structural elements,

• Conducting moisture measurements and percussion tests at critical points on the hull or superstructure of fiberglass boats, and ultrasonic scanning operations for delamination control in suspicious areas.

• Investigation of signs of damage or repair.

As a result of the above controls, suggesting solutions for problems detected, if any.

A lower cost limited survey is usually performed to identify and correct a problem that may disrupt seasonal operations before a full purchase survey decision is made.

It is also within the options of making it as a walk-through.

Cost of the limited scope survey will at the same time be deducted if our customers decide to proceed with the pre-sales survey.

Survey is completed within the same day it started.

The value of the boat is determined by the supply and demand balance in the current time period, the market value of its peers and the survey results.

Disclosed vessel value is a statement of opinion valid for a certain country and under certain conditions within a certain period of time.

Instant loading tests, parallel operations and protection systems of generators are checked at port. Shut down & load reduction tests of main machines and generators are performed. (Support of the relevant service engineer can be obtained in this regard.) Control of emergency systems for ship safety, emergency stop tests, monitoring and indicator systems controls are within the scope of the survey.

After the port tests are completed, the sailing experience is made together with the full load performance measurements of the machines and their records are taken. The results are evaluated and reported together with the recommended or absolute maintenance and repair recommendations.

This survey is recommended to be carried out especially for the boats;

• That have been idle for a long time,

• That will remain separate from the mooring port and make long-term voyages,

• That are at risk of being exposed to severe weather conditions due to their voyage,

• Subject to refit process.

Otherwise, the costs of repairing the malfunctions encountered outside the mooring port and especially during the cruise may be quite high.

Keeping his boat in physical and operating conditions in accordance with the policy conditions in the defined expedition zones and ports against insurance companies,

Against shipyards and equipment suppliers of ensuring that the boat equipment and machinery equipment are operated and maintained under the conditions specified in the technical documents, within the warranty period specified in the construction contracts.

Of ensuring that the necessary repair and replacement processes will be carried out in case of any defect or malfunction of the equipment delivered to the shipyard and/or the user within the warranty period specified in the purchase contract.

Of ensuring that losses of boats of which it is a customer are covered in accordance with the policy conditions.

Of ensuring that the necessary repairs and replacements are carried out against all kinds of defects and malfunctions within the warranty period specified in the contract, including all the equipment of the boats they have constructed.

First of all, damage is investigated by its root causes within the framework of events such as possible conflict at sea, fire, explosion, grounding, flooding, machinery failures, mast and sail equipment damage, severe weather conditions, without being limited to these.

Causes and consequences of the damage, as well as solutions regarding the repair methods are stated in the report.

Upon request, an assessment of possible repair costs is made.

The survey requirement and frequency of application may vary according to different insurance companies. In this, the age of the boat and the way it is used play a decisive role. The need for an independent and reliable survey is inevitable, especially during the initial policy creation or renewal of an existing one. The goal is to satisfy insurers that the boat is an acceptable insurance risk and that the insured value is realistic. Upon request, information about the market value of the boat is also provided. Many insurance companies require surveys for boats over a certain age, for periods not exceeding 5 years.

As Blue Marin Survey, our main goals are; to determine the deficiencies, if any, at the end of the survey, to follow up on their elimination and to successfully complete the insurance process in favor of all parties.

The size and shape of the risk becomes much more important as the value of the boat increases. A high-value boat that does not meet the policy conditions cannot be compensated for, and it can be a real disaster for the owner. This is also a form of "Warranty Survey", a method of risk reduction and assurance through inspection of compliance with conditions.

To inform boat owners about the performance and reliability of their boats

To support the decision-making processes with regard to the maintenance, repairment or sales of the boat by reporting the issues that cannot be noticed during the use of the boat and that may cause potential problems, if any.

To convey all the conclusions we can determine and finalize to all our customers in a transparent manner and as they are.

Although its appearance, aesthetics and paint are really important, other major technical problems especially come to the fore, along with the retrospective traceability of the boat in its life cycle, technical problems related to the hull and construction that cannot be detected visually, and the functional status of expensive main equipment.

In this way, in line with a competent report prepared by us, it is contributed to the buyer's decision to continue or abandon the purchase. When necessary, maintenance and repair suggestions regarding the detected issues are presented to the buyer in order of priority and and considering its urgency, if there are any.

The buyer is given the opportunity to negotiate over the current market value of the boat.

The decision-making processes for sales or pre-sales maintenance are supported by reporting the issues that cannot be noticed during the use of the boat and that may cause potential problems, if any.

First of all, it helps the seller make the right pricing by revealing the real condition of their boat.
