First, to determine the value and overall condition to set a fair purchase price; second, you may use the appraisal from a to provide to your insurance company in order to obtain a marine policy; and thirdly, to alert the new owner to possible future maintenance or repair concerns that they can’t see, that they should factor into their decision to buy or not buy any particular boat.

eCMID Inspections
The Common Marine Inspection Document (eCMID) provides a standard format for inspection of offshore vessels, including large ships right down to smaller workboats.
The purpose of this process is to provide a structure for the audit, or inspection of commercial vessels used in the offshore industry, conducted by vessel inspectors working on behalf of owners or clients. The aim of the eCMID system is to provide three measures of vessel safety and environmental assurance; the safety of personnel; the protection of the environment; and to visually assess the internal integrity of the vessel’s hull (watertight integrity). The inspection is planned and undertaken in liaison with the vessel owner and completed by our competent and accredited eCMID vessel inspector.
