Greater flexibility. The same trusted standard.

Modern S&P transactions move quickly. Owners, buyers and brokers need inspection information to support discussions, answer questions and keep transactions progressing. 

Pre-Sale Inspections gives sellers an easier approach to selling and marketing their vessels, simplifying the process by requiring only a single surveyor and inspection and providing flexible options to share your reports with potential buyers; all delivered through our leading online ship inspection platform.

Whether you're buying a ship, selling a ship or broking vessels, Idwal is here to help you navigate every transaction with greater confidence.  Speak to our S&P team to discover how greater flexibility  and verified inspection evidence can support your next deal.

Supporting confident S&P transactions

More ways to share

We've introuced greater flexibility in how customers use Idwal pre-sale inspections throughout a transaction, while maintaining the same trusted inspection standards that have made Idwal the market benchmark. 

    • More flexibility in how inspection information supports transactions.
    • Easier information flow between owners, buyers, brokers and stakeholders.
    • Inspection evidence available when and where customers need it.
    • Built around how S&P deals happen today.

Inspection information can now move more easily between parties, while the verified Idwal route remains available when customers require reliance, assurance and direct access to the original inspection report and supporting evidence.

People. Process. Proof.

The process behind every pre-sale inspection is the same, which continues to be built on the same foundations:

  • Experienced marine professionals carrying out physical inspections onboard.

  • A consistent inspection methodology, applied worldwide.

  • Technical review and quality assurance before every report is issued.

  • Independent assessment supported by verified inspection evidence.

Our standards never change. That's why the market trusts us.
