On/Off Hire Condition Surveys are essential for protecting the interests of both owners and charterers when a vessel enters or exits a charter period. At Good Wood Marine Services, we conduct impartial, detailed inspections that document the vessel’s physical condition, onboard equipment, and cleanliness. This survey establishes a baseline to determine responsibility for any damages or maintenance costs incurred during the charter. Whether at the start or end of a time charter or voyage charter, our experienced marine surveyors provide full reporting with photographic evidence. We help clients reduce disputes, protect claims, and maintain operational transparency throughout the charter process.
Our On/Off Hire Condition Survey includes:
Visual inspection of external hull, decks, and superstructure
Assessment of cargo holds, tanks, hatches, and accommodation areas
Verification of onboard machinery and operational equipment
Inspection of safety gear, mooring lines, and deck fittings
Documentation of existing damages or abnormalities
Checklists of consumables (fuel, water, lubricants) if required
Photographic evidence covering key areas and damage zones
Confirmation of vessel cleanliness and cargo-readiness
Review of vessel records, certificates, and prior damage claims
Comprehensive report with condition summary and surveyor’s remarks
Good Wood Marine Services is a trusted provider of marine surveying, cargo inspection, and consultancy solutions.
