BUILT AROUND YOUR DEAL
WE LISTENED.
WE CHANGED.
Every S&P transaction is different. Some involve a single buyer and others attract interest from multiple parties. Timelines change, negotiations evolve and information moves quickly between owners, brokers, buyers and financiers.
We know that customers want greater flexibility in how inspection reports support those transactions, so, we've listened…
We've evolved the way we support the S&P market, giving customers more choice while maintaining the independent inspection standard that has always been at the heart of every Idwal inspection.
Over the coming weeks we'll be sharing more about how we're evolving our support for the S&P market, alongside the people, processes and expertise behind every Idwal inspection.
Download our first whitepaper in our new S&P spotlight series now.

In S&P, what hasn't changed is just as important.
- Experienced marine professionals carrying out physical inspections onboard.
- Technical review and quality assurance before every report is issued.
- One consistent methodology, applied worldwide.
- Verified inspection evidence available directly from Idwal whenever independent assurance is required.
Our role has never simply been to inspect ships; it's to help owners, brokers, buyers and financiers complete transactions with greater confidence.
