Technical Marine Surveys & Inspections of Global Standards
As the officially appointed, exclusive Lloyd's Agent in Albania since 1994, as well as the designated VHT Average Agent and CESAM Correspondent, Samer & Misa delivers the gold standard of technical marine survey intelligence. Operating across all commercial ports, container terminals, and offshore anchorages nationwide, our independent marine surveyors provide unbiased, authoritative, and scientifically backed physical evaluations to protect the financial and asset-focused interests of global underwriters, shipowners, and charterers.
Our surveying division utilizes advanced diagnostic equipment and industry-approved methodologies to perform structural, mechanical, and quantity-based audits. Whether conducting non-destructive weather-tightness assessments using class-approved ultrasonic equipment, calculating exact displacements via draft surveys, or conducting high-stakes Hull & Machinery (H&M) damage assessments following a casualty, we deliver highly documented, photographic report packages that stand up to the most rigorous legal and corporate scrutiny.

FAQs
A Lloyd's Agency appointment is the ultimate badge of integrity and technical competence in the maritime industry. Because our surveyors are held to the strict, objective standards of the global Lloyd's Agency Network, our survey reports, cargo assessments, and casualty findings are fully accredited and automatically trusted by Lloyd's syndicates, international underwriters, and the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA).
Traditional high-pressure water hose testing can damage sensitive cargo, cause severe environmental runoff, and cannot be used in freezing temperatures. Our certified class-approved Sherlog Ultrasonic equipment is completely non-destructive, allows us to pinpoint exact structural leak paths within millimeters, requires no water, and can be conducted safely while the ship is performing active cargo operations.
Our technical desk operates 24/7/365. For vessels docked or anchored at the Port of Durrës, our certified surveyors can mobilize and be on board within 30 minutes. For regional ports, including the northern terminal of Shengjin or southern installations in Vlorë and Sarandë, our mobilizations are fully coordinated, with surveyors arriving at shipside within 2 to 4 hours.
Yes, frequently. We coordinate directly with opposing surveyors, terminal managers, and ship officers to execute joint inspections of hull damage, hold integrity, or cargo contamination. While our findings remain strictly objective and factual, our physical presence and specialized expertise ensure your financial and legal liabilities are robustly defended against inflated claims.
We conduct a highly detailed, room-by-room, deck-by-deck condition audit to record the exact physical state of the vessel at the delivery or redelivery milestone. This includes high-resolution photographic evidence of cargo holds, hatches, and decks, paired with an accurate Bunker Quantity Survey (BQS) to measure the exact fuel oil, diesel, and lubricating oil onboard, preventing costly charterer-owner disputes.
