We regularly survey boats at the end of their charter contract at all the
charter companies in the BVI. We work for the vessel's owners and work
closely with the maintenance crew of the charter companies.
CARIBBEAN MARINE SURVEYORS LTD CONDITION SURVEY FOR PHASE-OUT
The purpose of the phase-out survey, is to provide the owner with a
report on the condition of the vessel after the charter company has
completed their work to phase-out the vessel from their fleet. The survey
is usually carried out in three phases. We inspect the vessel's bottom
preferably after the last charter and make recommendations. We survey the
rest of the vessel when the phase out has started and make
recommendations. We re-inspect the vessel when the charter company think
that they have finished to check that all the work has been completed to
a satisfactory standard. Sometimes we have to make several follow up
visits to ensure compliance with recommendations.
