An industry-recognised measure of asset integrity

The Idwal Grade

Using proprietary algorithms, the Idwal Grade is calculated from over 500 individual data points, captured during a standardised inspection process. It is represented as a number between 1 and 100 for easy visualisation of the integrity of the vessel.

Making the Grade

The Idwal Grade is the result of a complex set of algorithms which interpret, analyse and categorise a vast amount of data captured throughout the inspection process, ultimately displaying a single numerical representation of a ships condition.

Our surveyors work within a rigid inspection framework which gathers over 500 different data points during the inspection which are then analysed through our advanced algorithms to generate the grade results. The algorithms feed the data into 21 sub-grades, culminating in a single final Grade, which quickly identifies and easily highlights areas that are exceeding expectation, or require improvement.

View our methodology page for more detail on how the Grade is calculated. 

TRUSTED BY THE BIGGEST NAMES IN SHIPPING

Who uses the Idwal Grade?

Every vessel inspected by Idwal is provided with the Idwal Grade. Typically our clients are from sectors such as banks, financial institutions, leasing companies, private equity funds, ship owners and S&P brokers. 

  • “Brokers clearly love Idwal reports. One explained that it essentially makes their job of selling a ship easier, in that they no longer have to persuade an owner to send its inspector to look at a vessel and instead can get an easy-to-read report. It also shunts some of the administrative tasks of report distribution onto someone else. The grade clearly has value."
