At PMTC, we offer specialized Pre-Insurance and Insurance Renewal Inspections to help shipowners, operators, and insurers make informed decisions with confidence. These inspections ensure vessels meet the technical, safety, and operational standards required for underwriting, policy issuance, or renewal.

Purpose of the Inspection
Before an insurer issues or renews a marine policy, it is essential to assess the vessel’s actual condition, compliance, and risk profile. Our independent evaluations provide an objective overview of the asset’s insurability and support fair, accurate premium assessments.

What We Deliver

✅ Condition Assessment
We conduct a comprehensive survey of the vessel’s hull, machinery, structure, safety systems, and operational readiness. Our inspections identify visible wear, defects, or deferred maintenance that may impact insurability.

✅ Compliance Verification
We confirm that the vessel complies with relevant IMO conventions, class requirements, flag state regulations, and safety codes (e.g., SOLAS, MARPOL, ISM).

✅ Risk Identification
Our experienced marine surveyors highlight any areas of concern that may present a heightened insurance risk such as fire hazards, outdated equipment, or non-compliant procedures.

✅ Actionable Reporting
We provide detailed, photographic reports with clear findings and, where needed, recommended corrective actions to bring the vessel to an insurable standard.
