Why a survey pays for itself

A missed defect costs more than the survey ever will.

BUYING

Hidden steel and machinery problems

Wastage, cracked frames or a tired main engine turn a good price into an expensive dry-dock. We find them before the money moves.

CHARTERING

On/off-hire disputes

Without a documented condition at delivery, every dent and every tonne of bunkers becomes an argument at redelivery.

CARGO & CLAIMS

Leaking hatches and rejected holds

One failed hold inspection or wet cargo claim can cost days of off-hire. Independent evidence protects your position.

Our story

Built by seafarers, for people who rely on ships

Arya Marine Assessments was started by seafarers who spent two decades on the bridge and in the engine room. We saw how often decisions worth millions were made on thin, hurried inspections.

So we keep it simple: the surveyor who attends is the one who signs, every finding has a photograph, and every report ends with a clear recommendation. Owners, charterers, clubs and buyers across Turkey and Europe use our reports to decide with confidence.

Questions

Before you book

Which ports do you cover?

All Turkish ports, including Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean and Black Sea terminals. We also attend vessels in European ports; send the port and date and we will confirm.

How quickly can you attend?

For Turkish ports we can often attend at short notice. Send the vessel's ETA and we will confirm availability the same day.

How is the fee calculated?

By survey type, vessel size and location. You receive a fixed quote before we attend, with travel costs stated up front.

What do I receive at the end?

A written report in English with photographs, graded findings and recommendations. Draught and bunker surveys include full calculation sheets.

Do you work for buyers and sellers?

We work for one principal per job and report only to them. Our findings are independent of brokers and yards.
