All successful surveys, whether heavy lifts or engine surveys have one thing in common – the need for a qualified, competent and experienced surveyor.

This is a prerequisite and if not present in the survey-equation then it is very likely that something will go wrong, possibly with disastrous results.

This is the reason ISS employ qualified surveyors including:

• Master Mariners
• Marine Engineers
• Naval Architects

who have years of experience in the handling and inspections of cargoes, ships, machinery and everything else involved in the marine industry.

ISS surveyors follow strict rules in respect of each case they handle by studying the scope of work before attending and then by carrying out the appropriate inspection with the authority afforded to them by their knowledge and experience.

ISS surveyors keep their clients fully informed throughout their inspections. On completion of their attendance they issue an accurate, concise and factual formal report, providing a complete and detailed record of their findings and recommendations.

No matter what the task is, ISS always have the right surveyor to handle it with confidence.
