SPOT - on-demand visits, no commitment.

One quote, one visit, any port, for all lifeboats and davits, all makes and models. No commitment.

FRAME AGREEMENT - port priority, lower costs, no commitment.

The most popular Agreement currently for our customers, a Frame Agreement provides all the benefits of spot purchase while offering lower costs with fixed pricing. There is no commitment. Enhanced benefits include port priority, planned compliance programme and due date management. We assign you a single point of contact to align inspection due dates and sailing schedules on your behalf, simplifying administration and logistics.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT - Payment plan. Dedicated safety manager.

With this Agreement, you can control compliance costs by splitting them into consistent periodic payments for ease of management. The service includes providing you with a dedicated safety manager and fleet-specific online safety portal. This option further reduces costs and complexity by enabling you to combine lifeboat inspection visits with other safety equipment inspection or service requirements.

The agreement advantage

Many customers choose to partner with us by signing a Lifeboat Inspection 402 agreement. This delivers benefits that go beyond the standard service, adding predictable pricing and budgeting, personal account management, due date monitoring and port priority.

Fixed, predictable prices 

Our fixed prices include all mandatory parts of your annual and 5-year lifeboat inspections, including travel to all listed hub ports.

Port priority

The risks of delays in port can be costly for your organisation. As an Agreement customer, port priority means your vessels come first and your sailing schedules are protected. Your continuing compliance and ability to trade are always prioritised.

Single point of contact

You will have a single point of-contact throughout your agreement, with an experienced Account Manager backed by a dedicated service team who know your fleet and understand your needs. There is also no need to spend management or administrative time contacting and coordinating multiple suppliers for each inspection as we make all the arrangements for you.

Proactive due date management 

We manage the entire compliance schedule for you. Details of your fleet and equipment are held in our data system that provides 90-day, 60-day or 30-day notifications of certificate expiry for every lifeboat and item of critical equipment covered. Your dedicated Survitec service team then informs you and agrees the time and location for the next inspection.
