Aaron Right Pte. Ltd. specializes in independent pre-purchase assessments and pre-charter risk evaluations to support informed decision-making prior to vessel acquisition or commercial engagement.
Our assessments extend beyond standard condition reporting, emphasizing operational readiness, technical integrity, and marine risk management to gauge risk exposure under real working conditions.
Scope of assessment:
- Physical condition surveys of vessel structure, machinery, and critical systems
- Review of maintenance history, class status, and statutory certification
- Assessment of operational readiness, including bridge, engine room, and deck operations
- Evaluation of safety systems, firefighting equipment, and lifesaving appliances
- Review of SMS implementation and onboard procedural compliance
- Identification of deficiencies impacting charterability and commercial acceptance
- Assessment of DP capability and FMEA alignment (where applicable)
- Verification of documentation against actual onboard condition
Where we add value:
- Identify risks that may not be visible in standard documentation
- Highlight gaps between reported condition and actual onboard state
- Provide clear insight into charterability and operational limitations
- Support pricing, negotiation, and commercial decision-making
- Deliver independent, defensible findings for buyers, owners, and charterers
- Reduce exposure to post-delivery defects, disputes, and off-hire risk
Who it’s for:
- Shipowners and buyers evaluating vessel acquisition
- Charterers assessing vessel suitability and risk
- Financial institutions and asset managers
- Offshore operators requiring independent verification
- Technical managers supporting commercial decisions
Our approach:
Assessments are conducted with a focus on:
- Field verification — emphasizing evidence over documentation alone
- Evidence-based reporting — providing clear, structured, and defensible insights
- Operational understanding — evaluating how the vessel performs in practice
- Commercial awareness — recognizing the impact on chartering and revenue
Before commitment is made, understanding the risks through our charter risk evaluations and marine risk management processes is crucial — they should never be assumed.
