Survey types
One request, matched to the actual job

Evidence-led inspection following grounding, collision, water ingress, machinery failure or storm damage.

Request this surveyHow it works
A practical route from request to inspection
The platform helps structure the enquiry and introduce suitable professionals. The selected surveyor remains responsible for agreeing scope, fee and terms with you.
Tell us about the yacht
Share the vessel, survey purpose, location, timing and any buyer or registry deadline.
We review the scope
We check geography, material, size, specialist needs and whether formal acceptance matters.
Receive a suitable introduction
Where available, we connect you with a surveyor whose stated capability fits the assignment.
Appoint independently
You compare the scope and terms, resolve conflicts and instruct the professional directly.
Important distinction
Professional membership is not automatic flag approval
For pre-purchase and condition work, competence, experience, insurance and independence are central. For tonnage, registration, coding or statutory work, the flag or accepting organisation may also require a specific appointment.

Lebanon marine survey locations
Plan the survey around Lebanon’s coasts and waterways
Lebanon’s recreational berths, fishing harbours and commercial ports require different access planning. State the vessel’s exact location and local contact; current travel, security, contractor entry, lift and sea-trial arrangements must be reconfirmed for every assignment.
Beirut & Dbayeh
Separate marina-based yacht work from access to the commercial Port of Beirut. Confirm berth control, contractor identification, equipment entry and whether haul-out is available at the stated facility.
Find a surveyor in this region →Jounieh & Keserwan
Provide the marina or harbour name, berth, vessel dimensions and local representative. Lift bookings, ashore access and trial arrangements should be agreed directly with the operator.
Find a surveyor in this region →Tripoli & north coast
Allow for travel from Beirut and distinguish private-marina access from commercial or fishing-port controls. Confirm the working area and onboard contact before appointment.
Find a surveyor in this region →Sidon, Tyre & south coast
Location and access conditions can change. Reconfirm road travel, harbour permission, vessel movement, local support and whether the assignment can be completed afloat.
Find a surveyor in this region →Commercial ports & repair access
Commercial-port attendance may require advance permission and an agent or terminal contact. Official inspection, registration and tonnage work must be routed through the competent Lebanese maritime authority or an accepted organisation.

Before you appoint a marine surveyor
What information is needed for a marine survey in Lebanon?
Provide the vessel name, type, dimensions, material and year; the exact marina, harbour or yard; survey purpose and deadline; local access contact; and whether haul-out, sea trial, machinery, rig or specialist testing is required.
Is a private condition survey the same as a Lebanese vessel inspection?
No. A pre-purchase, insurance or valuation survey is a private assignment. Registration, navigation, tonnage and official seaworthiness formalities sit with the Directorate General of Land and Maritime Transport, the relevant port office or an organisation accepted for the specific purpose.
Where can a Lebanese vessel be registered?
Lebanon’s published port rules identify Beirut, Tripoli, Sidon and Tyre as registration ports. They also describe inspection, measurement and documentation steps. Current requirements must be confirmed with the competent office for the vessel.
Can one surveyor cover both Beirut and northern or southern ports?
Potentially, but travel and access are priced around the actual itinerary. Multiple attendance points, restricted port entry or a separate haul-out location should be disclosed before a quotation is accepted.
Are lift, wash, sea-trial and port-access costs included?
Only when expressly included in the written quotation. Yard charges, lift, wash, relaunch, skipper, fuel, port permits, local agent support, travel and specialist testing can be separate.
Can a survey report be used for insurance or registration?
Only if the intended recipient accepts the surveyor, scope and report format. Obtain written requirements from the insurer, lender, registry or flag administration before appointing the surveyor.
Can you help with specialist marine assignments in Lebanon?
Potentially. Repair monitoring, accident investigation, ultrasound, moisture testing, machinery or rig work, commercial condition surveys and delivery acceptance require an appropriately experienced surveyor and confirmed access.
