Risk & Protection

PMDS Class provides a wide range of specialized marine surveys through a global network of approved and experienced surveyors. These services are designed to support shipowners, operators, insurers, and charterers in meeting technical, operational, and contractual requirements.

Our surveys deliver independent, accurate, and timely assessments that help reduce risk, support decision-making, and ensure compliance with international maritime standards.

Condition Surveys

Condition surveys determine the physical and operational condition of a vessel, machinery, or equipment at the time of inspection. These surveys are commonly required for purchase, charter, insurance, or financing. PMDS Class surveyors conduct detailed inspections and deliver clear, structured reports that identify deficiencies, risks, and maintenance needs.

Cargo Space Preparation Surveys

Cargo space preparation surveys ensure that cargo holds or tanks are clean, safe, and ready for loading. PMDS surveyors inspect spaces prior to loading to confirm they meet standards required for the safe carriage of specific cargo types, preventing contamination, damage, or disputes.

Machinery Performance & Fuel Consumption Surveys

These surveys verify machinery performance and fuel consumption under operational conditions. PMDS Class provides independent assessments that support performance guarantees, charter party compliance, and technical dispute resolution.

Quantity Surveys

Quantity surveys determine the quantity of cargo, bunkers, or dead freight onboard a vessel using internationally accepted measurement methods. Our surveys ensure accuracy for commercial transactions, claims, and operational planning.

Warranty Surveys

Warranty surveys verify compliance with insurance policy warranties required by underwriters to maintain coverage validity. PMDS Class surveyors confirm that vessels meet required conditions and provide documentation that supports insurance compliance and risk management.

Accident Investigation Survey

Accident investigation surveys involve detailed inspections, interviews, and technical analysis to identify the root causes of maritime incidents. Our independent findings support insurers, shipowners, operators, and legal proceedings, while contributing to improved safety standards.
