VANGELIS LEONTOPOULOS
SURVEYOR
Vangelis Leontopoulos (DipMarSur, BEng Mechanical Engineer AYDSA, AssocIIMS), owner of Lefkas Marine Surveys, has dedicated his whole professional life since a very young age to the marine industry. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (BEng) and is a qualified marine surveyor with the highly respected Diploma in Yachts and Small Crafts Marine Surveying by the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS).
Vangelis is not merely an affiliate member. He is an Accredited member of Yachts Designers and Surveyors Association (YDSA) and an Associate member of the International Institute of Marine Surveying (IIMS) and holds full Professional Indemnity insurance.
Based in the centre of Lefkas, our primary area of operation includes Preveza/Aktio, Lefkas Marina and Vliho/Nidri regions, known for a high charter activity and frequent grounding incidents. Vangelis is an insurance claim surveyor acting on behalf of insurance companies and Underwriters, and he is very experienced in damages. If the vessel you are going to purchase has sustained damage or undergone previous repairs due to a grounding, we will identify it.
The survey process is very thorough and will provide the client with the YDSA standards. The finished report is associated with a separate photo album that contains annotated pictures to help the client clearly understand all the findings and recommendations. It is important to note that not all surveys are of equal quality. A high-quality survey takes more time in both the inspection of the vessel and the preparation of the report, thus reflecting in a higher fee. A low-cost survey may not be as thorough, and in most cases, this may not provide you with the information needed to fully consider the purchase. Missing critical information in the low-cost survey, and you require assistance, this could be a much more costly process as opposed to contracting a more thorough survey in the first place.
If you are seeking a comprehensive, high-quality survey, feel free to contact us via email to request a quote. Our primary area of operation is Preveza/Aktio, Lefkas Marina and Vliho/Nidri. We also travel throughout Greece
