Technical assessment service for individuals and insurers

We carry out non-regulatory valuation reports with the depth you need

What is

a technical assessment?

In a second-hand market as active as that of boats, on certain occasions, the technical assessment is essential to support the decision to purchase or grant insurance.

Knowing the general condition of a vessel minimizes the risks of an operation.

Likewise, to market boats we have the Confidence Seal. If a seller, broker, workshop or other agent wants to prove to the market and the authorities the suitability of their product, they will need a third-party certification, which ensures the independence of the certification.

This service is essentially, but not exclusively, aimed at:

INSURERS, who wish to assess the risk before insuring.
BUYERS, who wish to assess the risk of their investment.
NAUTICAL AND SELLERS IN GENERAL, who wish to add value to their product.
