Certified Vessel Valuations

Marsden Marine Ships Surveyors can provide valuations. These are usually for insurance, finance purposes, probate, divorce, and ongoing project-based reasons. Our valuations are independent, and based on condition and the current market.

Marsden Marine Ships Surveyors hold a Lloyds Certificate in Vessel Valuation. This makes our practice unique in that we have both an expert understanding of small ships surveying, but also the quantitative and qualitative valuation methodologies as developed by the Lloyds Maritime Academy. This assures that the most accurate valuation of a vessel is being provided. As with the surveying practice, we support a host of clients including:

  •     Owners
  •     Buyers (Pre-purchase valuations)
  •     Import agents for duty and GST calculations
  •     Insurance brokers and underwriters
  •     Loss adjusters
  •     Courts and legal professionals
  •     Marinas, for seized and delinquent vessels
  •     Finance companies

The example in the photo is of an 8.5m Center Console Protector undergoing a refurbishment. The owner wished for a valuation in its pre- and post-refurbished state.
