Marine Surveying & Consulting
Expertise
From a focused machinery failure to a complex refit dispute, each engagement begins with a defined technical question, an appropriate inspection scope and a clear understanding of who will rely on the conclusions.
Grubb Marine Surveying & Consulting accepts assignments from yacht owners, attorneys, insurers, financial institutions and other marine-industry stakeholders. The work is proportionate to the matter: focused where the question is narrow, comprehensive where the consequences demand it.
Independent technical involvement before, during or after a refit. The work may range from specification and contract review to progress verification, quality control, deficiency assessment and the development of a practical remedial scope.
Focused examination of the reported failure, its immediate installation and the wider vessel systems needed to understand causation. The objective is to distinguish physical evidence from assumption and identify credible contributing conditions.
Technical support structured for the demands of insurance claims, mediation, arbitration and litigation. Reports are written to be understood by non-engineers while preserving the engineering basis for each opinion.
Detailed assessment of machinery, structure and onboard systems for owners, insurers, lenders and prospective purchasers. Scope is tailored to the vessel, the decision at hand and the intended reliance on the report.
Review of vessel installations against applicable regulations, recognized standards, manufacturer requirements and accepted marine practice, with attention to the actual engineering consequence of each condition.
Reasoned market-value and replacement-cost opinions supported by vessel condition, specifications, documented improvements, current market evidence and the purpose of the appraisal.
Define the assignment
Send a concise summary of the vessel, issue, location and timing. Supporting reports, photographs and records can be reviewed after an initial conflict check.
