Vessel Damage Surveys

Fair Marine Damage Inspections

Boat owners depend on David Hinkel, Inc’s 45+ years of experience for expert, fair, and accurate damage surveys and analyses of marine diesel engines and propulsion systems after a loss. 

When an engine or system fails, the analysis is generally performed by an assigned marine surveyor from the insurance carrier. However, we can represent you, the vessel’s owner, to protect your investment and work in conjunction with the insurance company’s assigned surveyor. In fact, a joint inspection is recommended to ensure a fair resolution for both sides.

Let us represent you in a damage survey. Contact us when you need us.
