Vessel inspection and marine surveying.
We help you understand a vessel’s technical condition, analyse damage and obtain documented conclusions before making a decision.
I am buying a vessel
Pre-purchase inspection tailored to the vessel and agreed scope.
My vessel has been damaged
Identification of affected areas, analysis of causes and assessment of consequences.
I need to know its true condition
Condition survey of hull, structure, systems, equipment and documentation.
I need an independent repair review
Independent technical review of scope, execution and suitability of the work.
I need a vessel valuation
Valuations for sale and purchase, insurance, finance, inheritance and other purposes.
I need an expert report
Reasoned technical conclusions for claims, disputes or proceedings.
The scope is agreed before work begins. Every vessel and every decision require a tailored inspection.

Professional qualifications
Official qualifications and expert judgement.
Assignments are handled by qualified technical professionals experienced in inspection, valuation and damage analysis.
Valuation system certified by the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya.A structured methodology supporting vessel valuations.
Naval engineering
Technical expertise applied to vessel structures, systems, materials and behaviour.
Court expert work
Preparation of clear, traceable technical opinions suitable for proceedings and disputes.
Average surveying
Inspection and documentation of damage, circumstances, extent and protective measures in incidents and transport.
Official qualifications

Methods and technology
The right tool for each question.
Instrumental techniques support inspection and professional judgement. Their use and scope depend on the material, conditions and purpose of the assignment.
Visual inspection
Systematic assessment of condition, visible anomalies and relationships between components.
Moisture measurement
Comparison of readings to identify areas requiring further investigation.
Tap test
Technical percussion to identify acoustic changes consistent with discontinuities.
Infrared thermography
Non-invasive analysis of thermal patterns and differences requiring interpretation.
Functional tests
System checks and, where appropriate, trials under way.
Technical documentation
Review of background information, invoices, quotations, drawings and available documentation.
Anonymised real cases
From technical finding to useful decision.
A selection of assignments documented in our working systems. Identifying details are omitted to protect case confidentiality.
Marine · Condition survey
A comprehensive, section-by-section review.
Non-destructive visual inspection of hull, deck, steering, propulsion, installations, equipment, safety and documentation, supported by functional checks and photographic evidence.
OutcomeStructured technical condition and prioritised maintenance recommendations in a complete report.
Marine · Valuation
Valuing a vessel with significant mechanical damage.
Market evidence, material condition, equipment and engine and transmission repair costs were assessed to avoid a purely theoretical valuation.
OutcomeA reasoned market range and reference value adjusted to the vessel’s actual condition.
Property claims · Water damage
Separating cause, cover and valuation.
Inspection of commercial premises affected by water ingress, policy review and separate assessment of ceilings, walls, floors and other building damage.
OutcomeA documented technical proposal distinguishing covered damage from uninsured items.
Property claims · Severe weather
Urgent assessment of catastrophe-scheme damage.
Documentary and photographic analysis of the partial collapse of a retaining wall after exceptional rainfall, including stabilisation, reconstruction and drainage.
OutcomeCatastrophe-scheme classification, provisional range and case prepared for professional review.
How we work
A clear and verifiable process.
- 01
We understand the case
What happened, what decision is needed and what information is available.
- 02
We define the scope
Checks, limitations, required documentation and expected deliverable.
- 03
We inspect and analyse
We gather evidence and compare observations, background information and measurements.
- 04
We deliver clear conclusions
A documented report, valuation where appropriate and understandable next steps.
ITB Surveyors
A technical, approachable and independent practice.
We turn complex situations into useful information. Our practice brings together official qualifications, naval engineering, court expert work and average surveying to explain what we observe, how we analyse it and which conclusions are supported by the available evidence.
