We provide redacted sample reports on request, before you commit. Each sample shows the real structure of that report type — scope and limitations, findings by system, measured data, photographic convention, graded defect list and declaration — with vessel identity and client details removed.
You should never buy a survey without seeing what the deliverable looks like. Ask us, ask the other firms you are considering, and compare the documents rather than the quotations.
Sample sets available

What is removed from a sample
Redaction applied to every sample
- Vessel name, official and hull identification numbers, registration details and photographs that identify the vessel.
- Client name and all correspondence details.
- Any commercially sensitive figure — purchase price, contract value, cargo parcel value.
- Third-party names: brokers, yards, terminals, laboratories.
What is not removed is the substance: the findings, the measured data, the grading, the photographs of defects and the conclusion. A sample with the findings removed tells you nothing.
How to use a sample when comparing quotations
- Check whether measured data appears at all, and whether it is presented in a way you could check.
- Check the limitations section. A short limitations section on a survey with no haul-out is a warning, not a convenience.
- Check whether defects are graded with timescales, or whether everything is simply “recommended”.
- Check whether the conclusion actually concludes.
- Check for an independence declaration and a contactable practice.
