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.
