Pre-Purchase / Condition Survey

A pre-purchase survey is a critical step in the acquisition of any vessel—large or small—particularly in the second-hand market. Its primary purpose is to provide buyers with a clear, independent assessment of the vessel’s overall condition and operational status, enabling informed, confident decision-making before finalising a purchase.

​

At Midwest Marine Surveyors, we conduct thorough pre-purchase and condition surveys on all types of vessels, from small private craft and domestic commercial vessels to large ocean-going ships including offshore support vessels, VLCCs, gas carriers, and bulk carriers.

​

Our detailed survey reports are tailored to provide an honest and practical evaluation of the vessel. Each finding is categorised as essential, recommended, or advisory, giving you a structured basis for negotiations, repair planning, and future maintenance.

Trust our experience to help you buy with clarity and confidence.
