The Report is the surveyor’s intellectual property. If the report is good and provides an accurate account of the condition of the surveyed vessel, with precise details and recommendations, it will lead to a happy relationship with the client. Get it wrong and, at best, the client will be displeased; and, if it goes really wrong, the surveyor could end up having to defend his/her position in a court of law.

The skill of writing an excellent report is one of the key assets a marine surveyor needs to master.
