WE SECURE THE FUTURE OF TRADITIONAL SHIPPING
Traditional shipping is an important part of maritime heritage and enjoys great popularity worldwide. Various aspects play a decisive role in the maintenance and restoration of historic ships, including floating surveys, shipyard supervision, transfer planning/supervision, feasibility studies and mooring surveys.

Floating survey
A central focus in traditional shipping is the floating survey. This detailed report looks at the structural integrity of the ship, its stability and safety in the water. It is crucial to preserve the ship’s original built – and therefore authenticity – while maintaining modern safety standards.
Shipyard supervision
Shipyard supervision also plays an essential role in the maintenance and restoration of traditional ships. Qualified professionals oversee the entire process, from planning to application, to ensure the historical substance of the ship being preserved while necessary repairs and/or modernization are carried out.
Transfer
The transfer of a traditional ship can present complex logistical challenges requiring not only professional navigation, but also precise planning to ensure the historic ship arriving safely at her destination.
Feasibility studies
Feasibility studies, on the other hand, are essential to assess the feasibility of restoration projects taking into account financial aspects, the condition of the vessel, the amount of labor required and other factors to ensure a restoration being carried out in accordance with historical standards and current requirements.
Preparation and review of mooring arrangements
Preparation and review of mooring arrangements is yet another critical aspect of traditional shipping. These surveys assess the suitability of (intended) mooring facilities/arrangements ensuring they meet the requirements for the ship to be safely moored.
Overall, floating surveys, shipyard supervision, transfer planning/supervision, feasibility studies and mooring surveys are individual essential elements for the preservation and operation of traditional ships. By carefully planning and expertly carrying out these measures, traditional shipping cannot only preserve its maritime heritage, but also ensure the safety and functionality of the ships for future generations.
