Marine Registration Services

Overview

Separate from classification or insurance-driven surveys, many vessels are subject to a recurring regulatory inspection confirming they remain fit to operate under their registration - covering general condition, equipment, and documentation.

We track inspection due dates and coordinate the inspector and any required vessel access, so the inspection happens on schedule and any findings are addressed promptly.

Benefits

Due-date tracking across your fleet or individual vessel.

Coordinated with annual survey and safety equipment inspection where requirements overlap.

Findings tracked through to resolution.

Reduces the risk of an operating restriction from a lapsed inspection.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the same as the annual survey?+

Not always. Annual inspection is usually tied to regulatory operating status, while annual survey can be broader or classification-led. We confirm which requirement applies to your vessel.

What happens if my vessel misses its inspection window?+

A missed inspection can affect the vessel's permission to operate. We can review the current status and coordinate the earliest available inspection route.

Do you handle inspections for fleets, not just single vessels?+

Yes. We can track due dates and coordinate annual inspections across multiple vessels under one workflow.
