Who This Service Is For
Shipowners who need an independent technical record following damage or an incident, to support their own insurance claim or to plan repairs on a clear factual basis.
When It Is Needed
Following machinery damage, structural damage, or an operational incident, where an independent technical record of condition, cause, and extent is needed before a claim is progressed or repairs are scoped.
What May Be Assessed
The affected machinery, structure, or equipment, documenting observed condition, extent of damage, and likely cause, subject to access and scope agreed in advance.
Report Output
A structured assessment report documenting observations, extent and probable cause, and technical findings, written to support claims handling and repair planning.
Independent, Owner-Aligned Assessment
The assessment is reported on technical findings alone, with no stake in how the resulting claim is settled or the repair contracted. Apeks Marine supports the owner's own claims process — it does not act as a loss adjuster, insurer's surveyor, or claims authority.
