Confirm the survey scope
Identify the survey, inspection or certification requirement and the reason it is needed. This determines what information and coordination are relevant.
Organise vessel information
Have vessel particulars, current certificates, location, expected port and operational timing ready for initial coordination.
Review document status before the attendance window
Missing or unclear documentation can slow down the process. A pre-check helps identify gaps before they become time-critical.
Plan follow-up as part of the workflow
Survey work can create follow-up actions or documentation. Treat those steps as part of the overall requirement rather than an afterthought.
Important: Maritime requirements can change and may vary by administration, vessel or seafarer profile. Confirm current requirements before acting on a specific case.
