Why Choose Nautinix
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my vessel require BKI class or not?
Generally required if length > 20 m, GT > 100, or propulsion > 250 HP. We help confirm based on your vessel's specifications.
My vessel's class is suspended — can it be restored?
Yes. Suspension is usually due to a missed survey. We help reschedule the survey and fulfill recommendations to restore the class.
What's the difference between annual and special survey?
Annual survey is done each year to verify condition; special survey is more comprehensive every five years. Both are mandatory to maintain class.
Information is general. Actual document requirements depend on vessel type, GT, operating area, and current regulations.
