HULL & MACHINERY


Hull & Machinery (H&M) Surveys form a critical part of marine underwriting and liability management. These surveys provide an independent evaluation of a vessel's structural integrity, machinery condition, and operational reliability—directly informing risk exposure and insurability.

We deliver detailed and objective H&M surveys on behalf of hull underwriters, insurance brokers, and P&I clubs. Whether for entry assessment, claims investigation, or condition monitoring, our reports are structured to support informed decision-making.

Damage Surveys

Causation analysis and documentation of physical damage, with time-cost estimation. 

Support in claim validation and third-party recovery actions.

Condition Surveys

Evaluate vessel condition as part of new entry into a hull & machinery insurance policy. 

Identify any exclusions or conditions precedent to coverage.

Purchase & Due Diligence Surveys

Technical basis for risk evaluation prior to acquisition or charter.

Often co-shared with financial institutions or club-appointed representatives.

LOSS OF HIRE


With extensive experience in marine engineering and claims handling, Inersurvey Srl delivers objective, detailed, and timely Loss of Hire and Strike survey reports that help all parties achieve efficient, evidence-based outcomes. 

Our role is to provide clear, factual assessments that support the fair evaluation of claims arising from vessel downtime, repairs, or operational disruptions caused by damage or strike events. Our services include:


Assessment of damage or incident circumstances affecting the vessel's ability to trade.

Verification of repair and off-hire periods, including evaluation of yard schedules and work progress.

Analysis of documentation and time records to determine the extent and duration of loss.

Evaluation of delays due to strikes, port issues, or logistic constraints.

Independent reporting and technical advice to support insurers, owners, and legal representatives during claim resolution.

DESIGN REVIEW AND BUILDING SUPERVISION


Successful vessel construction requires more than a good shipyard. It demands expert oversight to ensure that the design is practical, compliant, and fit for purpose, and that the construction process delivers exactly what was specified.

We offer independent Design Review and Building Supervision, reviewing design for compliance, functionality, and performance, and monitoring construction to ensure the final product meets all contractual, regulatory, and operational expectations.
