These independent bodies conduct exhaustive surveys, ensuring structural integrity, machinery reliability, and safety equipment compliance. This includes adherence to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), a critical treaty governing vessel construction, fire protection, and navigation safety.
