Fit For Purpose Vessel Surveys

At Leos Maritime, we conduct independent Fit For Purpose Surveys to determine whether offshore vessels are technically and operationally suitable for their intended roles whether for wind farm support, construction, logistics or research.

Our Inspection Focus

We assess vessels comprehensively, including:

  • Vessel layout and deck equipment functionality
  • Engine and propulsion system adequacy
  • Safety equipment and SOLAS compliance
  • Environmental systems (scrubbers, sewage, emissions)
  • Crew accommodation and welfare standards
  • Dynamic Positioning (DP) capability (if applicable)
The Concept Of Vessel Inspections

The Concept Of Vessel Inspections

Vessel inspections are systematic examinations of a ship's structure, systems and equipment to verify compliance with safety and operational standards.

  • The vessel and its crew
  • The marine environment
  • The ports and projects the vessel supports

The Significance Of Vessel Inspections

  • Ensuring structural integrity involves detecting wear, corrosion or fatigue early.
  • Maintaining operational efficiency ensures systems run at peak performance.
  • Upholding safety standards verifies compliance with SOLAS and IMO requirements.
  • Protecting the environment prevents leaks, emissions and pollution risks.

Types Of Vessel Inspections

  • Routine inspections involve regular checks to maintain vessel health.
  • Special inspections are targeted assessments for specific projects or incidents.
  • Statutory inspections are legally required compliance surveys (e.g., SOLAS, MARPOL).
  • Condition based inspections use data driven checks based on vessel performance and age.
