Methodology, Traceability and Independence
Our survey assignments are based on a structured methodology, applied consistently regardless of the type of assignment, the shipyard, or the yacht’s location.
Each survey is carried out according to a clear, documented, and reproducible process, ensuring the reliability of findings, traceability of analyses, and objectivity of conclusions.
A Rigorous Methodological Approach
Before any intervention, the scope of the survey is clearly defined: survey limits, objectives, technical constraints, and contractual framework.
The survey notably includes:
-
in‑depth visual inspection
-
structural and functional checks
-
systems and equipment analysis
-
verification of apparent conformity
-
gathering and analysis of available technical documentation
Findings are established factually, without commercial interpretation, and rely exclusively on observable, measurable, and verifiable elements.
Complete Traceability of Findings
Each assignment is systematically documented to ensure the traceability of the survey:
-
dated technical records and observations
-
photographic evidence and explanatory schematics
-
applicable normative references
-
a clear summary of critical points and recommendations
Collected elements are archived and integrated into the final report, ensuring a clear and usable format for both the yacht owner and insurance companies or their advisors.
Independence and Absence of Conflicts of Interest
Survey assignments are carried out independently from shipyards, brokers, builders, or any service providers involved with the yacht.
No operational, commercial, or management activities are linked to the survey assignments, guaranteeing total neutrality of the analyses and conclusions.
This independence is a fundamental principle of our practice and determines the value and credibility of every report delivered.
Confidentiality of Assignments
All assignments are handled with strict respect for the confidentiality of technical, financial, and contractual information entrusted to us.
Collected data, reports, and communications are reserved for the concerned parties only and are not shared without prior consent.
