Thermal Imaging is a MUST for any boat with coring in its construction!

Why Retain A Marine Surveyor?
A qualified Marine Surveyor can develop a realistic and dependableindication of the condition, value, and associated risks of a corporateor private yacht, ship, barge or tug, or any ocean going vessel,pleasure or commercial, that the owners, buyers, insuranceunderwriters, and financial institutions may rely upon. Modern dayvessels which are constructed with high-tech materials can no longer besurveyed and inspected by the old "knuckle tapping" technique. Theolder wooden hulls need a professional Maritime Surveyor with extensivetraining and experience on wood vessel construction.
