Hull & Safety inspection with completion certificate
As a member surveyor of the NBKB, a standard rate is applied which is transparent and competitive. The type of assignment, the type of vessel and its condition ultimately determine the cost of a certificate. Travel expenses are included for each on-site inspection. If several inspections are carried out, the travel expenses will be divided.In addition to the costs of the inspection, the NBKB will pass on the expenses for the certification with the necessary administrative processing. Please note that the NBKB carries out a follow-up inspection before a certificate is issued.
