Damage Surveyor
When a ship collide with another ship or makes contact damage to a terminal structure the ultimate
cost of damage repair plus loss of cargo and environmental damage due to oil spillage can run into
millions of dollars. Loss of lives and/or crew injury adds more financial burden onto a shipowner.
Unfortunately, collision accidents at sea occur not only in a dense traffic-congested area or due to
restricted visibility, and/or machinery/equipment failure, etc. but a significant amount of incident
