Marine Surveying for New Motor Yachts: A Practical Guide for Buyers, Marine Surveyors, Captains, Crew

Practical solutions during concept, design, construction and delivery for new motor Yachts Part One: Marine Surveying for the Buyer Part Two: Marine Surveying during construction Part Three: Crew Awareness This is an interesting book and approaches the marine surveying subject from a new angle. Marine surveyors are generally surveying used or second hand craft. But it is my opinion that the book would be of great assistance to a client intending to instruct on the construction of a new vessel, in the main giving clear guidelines about how to legally protect his/her investment. There is information on the responsibilities of all parties with details on check lists and contracts which should make any process more controllable as everyone will understand what is expected of them. This book would be extremely useful in the training of potential surveyors as the book covers virtually all issues which the surveyor is likely to become involved in. There is a lot of useful information on how the industry operates. It also gives guidance on organisational requirements and how to work within a team. All useful stuff if you are just starting out in the marine surveying game. There have been many books written on marine surveying, but this is different and would be an asset in any marine surveyor s library. John Kilhams IIMS
