Discharge Survey

A Discharge Survey is carried out immediately after the yacht or vessel has been unloaded at its destination. The inspection focuses on identifying any transport-related damage by carefully examining the hull, welds, fittings, and structural points.

This survey confirms that the vessel has arrived safely, in good condition, and free from damage sustained during transport.

The surveyor documents the vessel’s post-transport condition through photographs and detailed notes, comparing it to the loading or pre-shipment report to detect any discrepancies. Attention is also given to the condition of cradles, lashings, and lifting equipment used during offloading.

While some organizations promote standardized inspection methods, each Discharge Survey should be tailored to the client’s specific requirements, ensuring they receive accurate and relevant information about their vessel’s condition and safety.
