Surveys
Whether it is a new build, a routine 5 year survey or a vessel which has had a significant refit, Craftwise offer surveys to accurately determine the lightship of your vessel. In addition to this, we offer conditional surveys for those purchasing or maintaining their fleet.
In the event where the vessel is outside of the design lightship bounds, we offer stability analysis and addendums.
