Who This Service Is For
Shipowners and technical managers who want an independent technical reference point on a vessel's condition, separate from class or flag-state survey cycles.
When It Is Needed
Routine technical oversight between class surveys, ahead of a charter or operational decision, or when an independent second opinion on vessel condition is useful.
What May Be Reviewed
Hull and deck condition, machinery spaces, safety equipment, and general operational status, subject to access and scope agreed in advance.
Report Output
A structured survey report documenting observations and technical findings, written for operational and management decision-making.
Independent, No Commercial Stake
Observations are reported factually and without commercial bias, so the vessel's owner or manager can weigh the findings on their own terms. Attendance is carried out directly by Apeks Marine, not delegated to a third party.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a marine survey cover?
A general technical survey of a vessel's condition, equipment, and operational status — covering hull and deck condition, machinery spaces, safety equipment, and general seaworthiness indicators, subject to access and scope agreed in advance.
Who typically requests a marine survey?
Shipowners and technical managers seeking an independent reference point on a vessel's current condition, outside of class or flag-state survey cycles.
How does this differ from a Condition Survey or Pre-Purchase Inspection?
A Marine Survey is a general-purpose technical review. A Condition Survey is typically requested for a specific insurance, finance, or fleet-management purpose, and a Pre-Purchase Inspection is scoped specifically around a sale or acquisition decision. The underlying inspection approach is similar; the purpose and report framing differ.
What does the final report include?
A structured report documenting the scope of attendance, observations, and any technical findings, in a clear format suited for operational or management decision-making.
How quickly can a marine survey 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.
