The Role of Technical Consultancy in Pre-Purchase Surveys

Pre-purchase inspections are high-stakes—mistakes cost millions. Our technical consultancy service provides objective, detailed vessel condition assessments to inform your investment decisions.

We inspect hull structures, main and auxiliary machinery, piping systems, and safety equipment, generating a comprehensive Condition & Valuation report.

Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods—ultrasonic thickness gauging, magnetic particle inspection, and leak-down tests—reveal hidden defects without disassembly.

Risk Analysis & Recommendations

Beyond technical data, we evaluate market trends and resale values to advise on optimal purchase timing and negotiation strategies.

Clients gain clarity on CAPEX, drydock requirements, and operating expenses, empowering evidence-based deal-making.

Carat Maritime’s pre-purchase consultancy de-risks acquisitions—ensuring you buy the right vessel at the right price.
