What this service covers
This service provides objective technical evaluations of vessel condition, focusing on hull integrity, underwater systems, and critical components that require dry-dock access.
At Velport, inspections and assessments are conducted as part of a structured shipyard operation, allowing for accurate observation, documentation, and reporting without operational interference.
Q: Can I be invoiced through a U.S. entity?
A: Yes. Velport is operated by a U.S.-registered company. We provide standard U.S. invoicing (W9 available), accepting wire transfers and domestic payments. This simplifies vendor onboarding for corporate-owned vessels and insurance claims.
Q: Are reports provided after the inspection?
Yes. Hull condition reports and documented observations are provided upon completion of the assessment.
Q: Can inspections be used for Port Captaincy or compliance purposes?
A: Yes. Inspections for Port Captaincy and regulatory requirements are included within this scope.
Q: Are these inspections equivalent to a full marine survey?
A: No. This service provides technical inspections and condition assessments focused on shipyard-access areas. It does not replace a full valuation or insurance survey unless specified
