Prepurchase

 

Are you considering purchasing a ship?

 

Whether you're a first-time buyer or an experienced owner, a pre-purchase survey is an essential step in the process. Here's why:

1. Identifies any issues: A pre-purchase survey will identify any existing or potential problems with the vessel. This information can help you negotiate the purchase price and plan for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

2. Ensures safety: A pre-purchase survey can uncover safety issues that may not be immediately visible to the untrained eye. This can include issues with the hull, deck, electrical systems, or other components of the ship that could pose a risk to crew or passengers.

3. Verifies compliance: A pre-purchase survey will confirm that the ship complies with all relevant safety and environmental regulations. This can help you avoid costly fines or legal issues down the road.

4. Provides peace of mind: By conducting a pre-purchase survey, you can rest assured that you're making an informed decision about the vessel you're considering. You'll have a detailed understanding of the ship's condition and any potential issues, allowing you to make a confident and informed purchase.

 

At VALENCIA Marine Services SLU, we specialize in pre-purchase surveys for all types of vessels. Our experienced and qualified marine surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection of the ship, providing you with a detailed report that includes recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

PSC/Flag Surveys

When it comes to vessel compliance, preparation is key. A PSC (port state control) detention or flag state inspection can be costly and time-consuming, leading to delays and lost revenue. That's why, at VALENCIA Marine Services SLU, we offer PSC preparedness surveys and flag state inspections to help ensure your vessel is ready for any inspection or audit. Here's how we can help:

1. PSC Preparedness Surveys: A PSC preparedness survey is an inspection of your vessel to ensure it meets all relevant safety and environmental regulations. Our surveyors will identify potential compliance issues and provide recommendations for remedial action. You can avoid costly detention and delays by addressing any issues before a PSC inspection.

2. Flag State Inspections: Flag state inspections are conducted to ensure vessels comply with the requirements of the flag state. Our surveyors will conduct a thorough inspection of your vessel and provide a detailed report that identifies any issues that must be addressed to maintain compliance. By addressing any issues before a flag state inspection, you can ensure your vessel remains in good standing with the flag state and avoid any potential penalties.

 

At VALENCIA Marine Services SLU, we understand the importance of compliance for vessel operators. Our experienced surveyors have extensive knowledge of international maritime regulations and can provide you with the expert advice and support you need to maintain compliance.

AUDITS

 

Ensuring compliance with international maritime regulations is crucial for the safety of crew, passengers, and cargo, as well as the reputation of vessel owners and operators. At VALENCIA Marine Services SLU, we offer a range of audits to ensure compliance with the ISM Code, the ISPS Code, and the MLC 2006. Here's how we can help:

1. ISM Audits: The International Safety Management (ISM) Code requires that all vessels over 500 gross tons carry a Safety Management Certificate. Our experienced surveyors will conduct an audit to ensure that your vessel meets the requirements of the ISM Code, including safety management systems, crew training, and emergency procedures.
2. ISPS Audits: The International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code requires that vessels have a ship security plan to prevent security incidents. Our surveyors will conduct an audit to ensure that your vessel meets the requirements of the ISPS Code, including security procedures, equipment, and personnel.
3. MLC 2006 Audits: The Maritime Labor Convention (MLC) 2006 sets out minimum requirements for working and living conditions for seafarers. Our surveyors will conduct an audit to ensure that your vessel meets the requirements of the MLC 2006, including crew accommodation, food and catering, health and safety, and employment and social rights.
