Marine surveyors are independent professionals who inspect a vessel or her cargo and report their findings to the party that commissioned them — owners, charterers, buyers, or insurers — rather than acting on behalf of a flag state or classification society. Typical work covers pre-purchase and condition surveys assessing a ship's structural and mechanical state before sale, insurance, or charter, cargo surveys checking the condition and quantity of goods loaded or discharged, and draft surveys calculating cargo weight from a vessel's change in displacement.
Surveyors issue a written survey report or certificate supporting the commercial or insurance decision at stake, distinct from the statutory and class certification issued by classification societies and from the non-destructive testing carried out by specialist inspection technicians. Because survey findings can determine whether a cargo claim succeeds, a sale completes, or a charter is accepted, buyers commission surveyors independent of the vessel's owner or operator, choosing them on relevant experience, accreditation, and availability at the port where the survey is needed. It sits within the Survey, Inspection & Certification category group on PortProcure.

A marine surveyor carries out independent inspection and reporting on a vessel or its cargo — condition and pre-purchase surveys, damage and casualty surveys, draught surveys, and on- or off-hire condition surveys — and issues a report relied on by owners, buyers, charterers, insurers, or class. The work is independent assessment, not repair.
How is a surveyor different from a classification society?+
A classification society sets and certifies a vessel against its own class rules through periodic survey. An independent marine surveyor is commissioned for a specific purpose — a purchase, a claim, a cargo dispute — and reports to the party that engaged them. The two roles often work alongside each other but are distinct.
When would a buyer commission a survey?+
Typically around a specific event — buying or selling tonnage, a cargo or hull damage claim, a charter handover, or an insurance requirement — rather than on a routine schedule. Buyers choose a surveyor on relevant vessel or cargo experience and standing with the party who will rely on the report.
