Overview

Inland Equipment Surveys

We survey and appraise tank and dry cargo barges, towboats, fleeting areas, terminals and shoreside equipment across the inland river system, the Gulf and both coasts.

Fleet programs replace one-off surveys with a consistent standard applied to every hull on a scheduled cycle — which is what lenders and underwriters actually want to see. Deficiencies are tracked fleet-wide and reported in the formats those institutions use.

Drone, thermographic and ultrasonic techniques now cover a large share of this work, removing staging and confined-space entry from the inspection and cutting both cost and risk.
