In this part of the world, the use of poorly-maintained or malfunctioned vessels contribute to over 50% of losses in cargo, time (hence demurrage) and berth space. Website display of a beautiful chemical tanker today could be one of over 20 years and the owner would represent it as the current state of the vessel to an unsuspecting bidder. When a perspicacious Summer inspector is dispatched to vessel location at anchorage, the real status of such vessel is revealed on proper evaluation of both structural and functional conditions. Thereafter, on analysis of evaluation tools and questionnaire, our erudite report would enable our valuable principal make an informed decision on the vessel, and not to be swayed by her affordability or relationship propinquity with the owners, as the case may be.
For instance, an optimistic charterer of such old vessel (see photo) certainly would not get a good result. Problems of leakage, contamination and mechanical failures are likely outcomes. So, expectations that an inspection company, like ours, would perform miracles of quantity overflow, quality retention, and mechanical revival to please such a client are mere futile wishes.
