Pre-AMSA Inspections

Overview

Pre-AMSA Inspections are conducted to ensure vessels meet all Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) requirements before formal inspection or port state control boarding. At Good Wood Marine Services, we help shipowners and managers avoid detentions, delays, and penalties by identifying non-compliance issues in advance.

Our detailed inspections focus on structural integrity, safety equipment, crew certification, and documentation. We simulate AMSA checks to ensure your vessel is fully prepared for regulatory scrutiny. With our proactive service, you can improve operational readiness, safeguard reputation, and pass AMSA inspections confidently—especially critical for foreign-flagged vessels entering local waters.
