About OOSHIP

Marine surveyor reading vessel draft marks from the jetty

OOSHIP is the maritime industry's marketplace for marine survey services. We exist to advance the vision of transparent, merit-based surveyor appointments across the ecosystem — connecting shipowners, charterers, insurers and traders with verified survey companies at every major port worldwide.

By combining sealed quotations, verified provider credentials, port-experience filters and a complete inspection workspace, OOSHIP transforms fragmented, opaque surveyor sourcing into intelligence our customers can act on with confidence. More than a directory — a scalable platform connecting the global maritime supply chain around a shared ambition: the right surveyor, at the right port, every time.
