Who This Service Is For
Shipowners and technical managers who want a routine, independent read on overall engine room condition and operating practices, rather than a follow-up on a specific known fault.
When It Is Needed
As part of routine technical oversight, ahead of a charter or operational decision, or whenever a general check on engine room health is useful rather than an investigation into a single known issue.
What May Be Reviewed
Main engine condition, auxiliary systems, and operating and maintenance practices in the engine room, subject to access and scope agreed in advance.
Report Output
A structured report documenting the scope of attendance, observations, and any technical findings across the systems reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does an Engine Room Technical Inspection cover?
A routine, comprehensive check of overall engine room health — covering main engine, auxiliary systems, and operating practices — rather than an investigation into any single known issue.
Who typically requests this inspection?
Shipowners and technical managers who want an independent read on general engine room condition and operating practices, as part of routine technical oversight.
How does this differ from an Engine Room Defective Survey?
An Engine Room Technical Inspection is a routine, general-purpose review of engine room condition, machinery, and practices. An Engine Room Defective Survey is narrower and triggered by a specific, already-identified defect that needs focused investigation into cause and implications. If a particular fault is already known, the Defective Survey is the more targeted service.
What does the final report include?
A structured report documenting the scope of attendance, the systems and practices reviewed, and any observations or technical findings, suited for operational or management decision-making.
How quickly can an engine room technical inspection be arranged?
For vessels calling Mersin, Adana, or İskenderun, attendance can typically be arranged on short notice; for wider Türkiye-based assignments, timing is subject to scope and schedule.
