Vessel Valuation

A valuation is only useful if the people relying on it trust it. Ours are independent, clearly reasoned and prepared by accredited marine valuers.

DFS Maritime provides Vessel Valuation Servicees clients can use with confidence, for all vessel types. Our valuers are accredited marine appraisers backed by Lloyd’s Maritime Academy vessel valuation certification and years of hands-on technical experience. We have completed more than 300 vessel valuation and shipyard evaluation projects since 2006.

Valuation Backed by Technical Experience

Because our team has run ships as chief engineers and masters, and managed them as technical superintendents, we know what drives a vessel’s real worth: how it was maintained, what it will cost to put right and whether it is fit for its intended trade. That is the difference between a figure on paper and a valuation you can rely on.
