Aaron Right Pte. Ltd. provides independent pre-purchase and pre-charter risk assessments to support informed decision-making before vessel acquisition or commercial engagement.
Our assessments go beyond condition reporting — focusing on operational readiness, technical integrity, and 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 (bridge, engine room, 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 — not reliance on documentation alone
- Evidence-based reporting — clear, structured, and defensible
- Operational understanding — how the vessel performs in practice
- Commercial awareness — recognising impact on chartering and revenue
Before commitment is made, risk must be understood — not assumed.
