Grounding damage yacht survey in Spain

A grounding damage yacht survey in Spain is recommended when a yacht has touched the seabed, rocks, harbour structures or an underwater object.

Grounding can cause visible and hidden damage to the hull, keel, rudder, propeller, shaft, saildrive, engine mounts and internal structure.

VALENCIA Marine Services provides independent grounding-damage yacht surveys for owners, insurers, claims handlers, brokers, lawyers, captains, and repair yards.

Why Is Haul-Out Important?

For grounding damage, haul-out is strongly recommended. The underwater hull, keel, rudder, propeller and appendages cannot be properly assessed while the vessel remains afloat.

A short lift may identify visible damage, but a more detailed inspection may require hardstanding access.
