Overview
Many vessel categories, particularly commercial and classed vessels, require a recurring annual survey to confirm ongoing seaworthiness and compliance, separate from one-off surveys used for purchases or damage claims.
We track annual survey due dates for vessels under our management and coordinate the surveyor and any yard access the survey requires, so the requirement does not lapse.
Benefits
Coordinated alongside classification and registration renewal cycles.
Consistent surveyor relationships year over year.
Findings feed directly into any required follow-up work.

Frequently asked questions
Is an annual survey the same as a classification survey?+
Not always. A classed vessel may have class-specific survey requirements, while other vessels may need annual inspection for registration or insurance. We confirm the applicable route.
What happens if my annual survey is overdue?+
An overdue survey can affect registration, classification, or insurance status. We can review the quickest route to restore compliance.
Do privately owned yachts need an annual survey?+
Some privately owned yachts may need periodic surveys depending on registration, insurance, size, and use. We check the requirement against your vessel details.
