When a ship is involved in such accidents as fire, stranding, collision and sinking, and the accident is dealt with as general average, NKKK conducts necessary survey and gives appropriate advice and recommendations for the mutual benefits of the parties concerned.

NKKK conducts survey by experienced surveyors with sufficient knowledge on not only cargoes but also hull, machinery and other sections of a ship as shown below:

(1) To survey a hull and her machinery and collect relevant data when chartering of the ship is commenced or terminated.

(2) To ascertain the extent of damage to a hull and her engine involved in an accident, investigate the cause and, if necessary, estimate repairing charges.

(3) To conduct an on-the-spot survey on damage to loading equipment, ship and/or cargo caused by an accident during loading or unloading and to estimate the amount of loss.

(4) To inspect the tow worthiness of a vessel such as a dredger, craneboat, barge or ship under towage, marking necessary recommendation to ensure the safety of towing navigation.

For settlement of the general average, buying or selling, transfer, warranty, dismantling, registration of a vessel, we provide services of evaluation of a ship as required.
