Privacy Policy & Information Governance

In the execution of maritime surveys, we collect and process:

• Vessel Particulars: IMO number, call sign, gross/net tonnage, hydrostatic draft tables, tank capacity plans, and classification certificates.
• Instruction Records: Contact names, shipping line affiliations, corporate billing addresses, and port agency credentials.
• Field Evidence: High-resolution ultrasonic gauge readouts, photographic damage logs, bunker custody transfer receipts, and gas-free certificates.
• Telemetry: Live AIS transponder coordinates and port arrival time-stamps.

Survey reports, draft calculations, and damage assessments are prepared strictly for the Instructing Client. Under no circumstances do we disclose findings, bunker figures, or condition ratings to competing charterers, third-party cargo owners, or unauthorized commercial parties without explicit written authorization or mandatory flag-state statutory subpoena.

Certificates generated through V-Marine MSP are stamped with irreversible SHA-256 cryptographic hashes. The public verification desk enables P&I clubs and port authorities to verify document authenticity without exposing unredacted commercial terms or private vessel particulars.

In compliance with maritime claims limitation periods (Hague-Visby Rules and York-Antwerp Rules), technical survey records and raw measurement logs are retained in encrypted cold vaults for a minimum period of seven (7) years. Instructing clients may request full export or archived copies via the Client Operations Portal at any time.
