Buying or selling a second-hand ship is a technical decision as much as a commercial one. SNP Machinery provides independent technical expertise that gives owners, buyers and sellers a clear, engineering-based view of a vessel's real condition — before price and terms are finalised, not after.
We examine hull and structure, main and auxiliary machinery, propulsion, electrical systems and class documentation, identifying deferred maintenance, upcoming survey obligations and technical risk that isn't always visible in a brokerage listing.
Our findings are written to support the decision in front of you — a purchase negotiation, a sale disclosure, or a financing or insurance requirement. We work alongside brokers, lawyers and financiers rather than in isolation.
SNP Machinery does not sell or broker the vessels we survey. Our only interest is an accurate, defensible technical picture, which is what makes the assessment useful in negotiation.
