PRE-SALE INSPECTIONS

    Changing the way vessels are sold

    Keep control of the inspection process without wasting time and resources on multiple inspectors attending the vessel for several potential buyers.

    Significantly reducing cost to sellers, Idwal delivers one accurate and independent inspection report for any vessel released to the market for sale.

    Discover the new pre-sale module

    We are pleased to announce the launch of our new module for pre-sale inspection reports, which streamlines their online distribution to facilitate the sale and purchase (S&P) of vessels. The module enables the following benefits to sellers and buyers:

    • Ability to authorise potential buyers’ access to the relevant Idwal report and distribute to interested parties
    • Insight into who is engaging with the asset information
    • Not dealing with multiple third-party inspections for potential buyers
    • Full assurance of report authenticity
    • The right of reliance on the report’s validity and accuracy
    • No need to organise pre-purchase inspections 

    This evolution of Idwal’s current service automates some of the manual tasks for all involved and marks another step towards a more efficient S&P inspection process.

    Your Pre-sale inspection partner

    Typically owners have elected to place their vessel on the market via brokers and then wait for multiple interested parties to inspect the vessel. This process can be chaotic and disruptive and it is challenging for sellers to manage the process.

    Using the pre-sale method:

    1. Concierge features to assist you through the process
    2. Control of the inspection process without multiple inspectors attending the vessel
    3. Increased number of serious buyers & potential for “clean” offers
    4. Reliance on the report data by all parties who purchase the report

    This is a cost-effective solution, which often neutralises the inspection costs and keeps the sellers in full control. Reports are kept confidential to serious buyers only and have a high-transaction success rate.
