Marine Surveying

At Broadreach Marine, we uphold the highest standards of professionalism, accuracy, and integrity in every survey we undertake. Our clients trust us to provide impartial, expert assessments, and we deliver consistently reliable results through our team of highly experienced marine surveyors. Drawing on extensive backgrounds with leading classification societies such as Lloyd’s Register (LR), Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Germanischer Lloyd (GL), American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), Registro Italiano Navale (RINA), our experts bring depth, technical precision, and industry insight to every project.

Expert Surveyors with Global Experience

Our surveyors are not only technically proficient but also strong communicators— all our reports are peer reviewed by a native English speaker and proofed for technical and narrative content, findings, and discussions are clear, concise, and professionally presented. This level of clarity is especially important when working with international clients, insurers, and stakeholders who require accurate documentation and timely updates throughout the surveying process.

Being strategically based in South Korea allows us to offer both rapid response and cost-effective attendance for surveys across the region. We are well-positioned to support surveys throughout Korea and can also deploy quickly to the Philippines, Japan, China, Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam—minimising travel time and expenses, and enabling fast turnaround on urgent survey requests.

Peter Broad is an appointed ‘Surveyor of Ships’ under the Red Ensign Group (REG), which is made up from the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies (Isle of Man, Jersey and Jersey) and nine UK Overseas Territories (Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islande, Gibraltar, Monserrat, St. Helena and the Turks & Caicos Islands). These collectively form the British Register.
