3 Hull & Machinery damage surveys, risk assessment surveys, inspections and audits A reputation for being the leading provider of hull and machinery damage surveys Carrying on the tradition of The Salvage Association, originally formed in 1856 on behalf of the Lloyd s of London Marine Insurance market, we have built our reputation on Hull and Machinery damage surveys, and in providing support during the claims and repairs process. Over the years we have also played a leading role in the development of warranties and surveys to support loss prevention. Many of the loss prevention surveys have been developed in cooperation with the Joint Hull Committee and not only include surveys of vessels but also management capability, on board fuel management and shipyard risk. For example, following a series of shipyard accidents and losses in the early part of this century, the JH143 shipyard risk assessment warranty survey was introduced by the Joint Hull Committee in Since then Braemar (Incorporating The Salvage Association) has carried out over 450 risk assessments with the result being a significant reduction in these losses. Today Braemar (Incorporating The Salvage Association) offer a full range of risks assessment surveys, many of which have been developed for our clients benefit. We also carry out P&I condition surveys, pre-purchase conditions surveys, OVID and CMID inspections.
