Considering dry hiring a tug, workboat or barge? Make sure the condition is clearly documented before and after the charter.
Catalpa Marine offers detailed On and Off Hire inspections to accurately record the condition of a vessel at the start and end of a charter or lease period. These independent inspections help protect owners, operators, and charterers by reducing the risk of disputes over damage, maintenance, or wear.
We provide thorough reporting on all key areas — including hull integrity, machinery condition, safety equipment, and overall seaworthiness. Inspections are tailored to your vessel type, operating environment, and contractual requirements.
Each inspection includes a detailed written report in PDF format, supported by an extensive photo gallery for clear visual documentation. All work is conducted in accordance with industry best practice and delivered promptly to meet your operational schedule.
