Spares Testing, Valuation & Sourcing
Prove a spare is fit and fairly priced before it goes aboard.
A used or surplus spare can save thousands - or cost far more if it fails in service. ShipSmith sources, values and tests new and used spares so owners can buy and sell with confidence rather than on trust. We verify identity and condition, function- and pressure-test where the part allows, and provide an independent valuation for purchase, sale, insurance or fleet-disposal decisions. The result is a spare that is documented as genuine, sound and correctly priced before it is committed to a vessel or a transaction.
