Sinotech Marine Grading Overview

 

Defect Analysis and Upgradation Scope

As ships work in extreme conditions and are exposed to continuous wear and tear, they, therefore, need to be maintained to high standards according to a maintenance plan designed for them. Vessel condition surveys are a necessity as they help to safeguard your shipping investment and mitigate the risks involved in shipping investments and operations. The Defect Analysis and determining the Scope of Upgradation are crucial for condition assessment.

   

 

 

Vessel Valuation Analysis

Estimation of vessel valuation for secondhand purchase is very crucial and complex. Usually, it is driven by demand and supply of freight for a given commodity and trade and estimated based on previous sale and purchase transactions of vessels with similar type, age and built in the same shipyard.

However, that is not regarded as true valuation unless adjusted by the current condition of the vessel. Sinotech Marine offers a Condition Adjusted Valuation analysis to help ship buyers negotiate vessel price.
