Appraisals

Accurate, thorough, reliable, fair and professional. Our clients know they can count on us for appraisals that are all that and more.

Marine assets are unique and serve a wide variety of purposes. As such, we take the time to examine the characteristics, conditions and circumstances relative to all equipment or property we value. Using the information collected, we consider multiple standard approaches to valuation and ultimately apply the method or methods that deliver the most complete, most accurate values for a particular asset.

We effectively analyze market and industry trends, past and current, and consider regulations and factors that affect the value of marine assets. Based on those factors, we develop a reasonable picture of future trends and realistically forecast the future values of our clients’ assets. That knowledge helps our clients make more informed decisions when it comes to managing their marine portfolios.

Our ASA Accredited Senior Appraisers have valued billions of dollars in marine assets.
