Marine Technical Expertise for Informed Decisions

Maritime decisions often involve significant financial, operational and legal consequences. Whether you are purchasing a yacht, assessing the condition of a commercial vessel, supervising a cargo operation or planning a technical modification, you need accurate information before taking action.

Valencia Marine Services combines practical surveying, technical evaluation and engineering expertise to provide an objective understanding of a vessel, cargo operation or maritime incident.

Our work is tailored to the purpose of each appointment. We establish the required scope, review the available documentation, attend the vessel or location when required and provide clear findings that can support operational, commercial, insurance or legal decisions.

Cargo Surveys

Independent cargo inspections carried out before, during or after loading and discharge operations. Services include cargo condition and damage surveys, draft surveys, bulk cargo inspections, container inspections and supervision of loading and discharge.

We help clients verify condition, quantity, handling and documentation while reducing the risk of disputes, losses and unsupported claims.

Yacht Surveys

Technical surveys for sailing yachts, motor yachts and recreational vessels. Services include pre-purchase surveys, condition and valuation surveys, insurance inspections and yacht damage assessments.

Each survey is structured around the client’s purpose and provides a clearer understanding of the yacht’s condition, relevant defects and potential technical considerations.
