Success Story: Expert H&M Survey Completed on LPG/C CLAUDE

On November 28, 2025, our technical team successfully completed the on-board supervision of a Hull & Machinery (H&M) survey on LPG/C CLAUDE at Port Qasim, appointed by W K Webster (International) on behalf of H&M Underwriters.

The survey focused on the allision damage to the vessel’s port forecastle bulwark, including detailed inspection, damage measurement, photographic evidence, logbook analysis, and witness verification. Our findings confirmed that the structural impact was limited, with no effect on vessel seaworthiness, enabling the vessel to continue operations without restriction.

Following ClassNK recommendations, permanent repairs were scheduled for the next drydock cycle.
