Water, ships, sailing yachts, ports, … The world in which our team was raised. And where we still work every day with passion and enthusiasm.
I, Rudi Gelper and manager of International Nautical Services, founded my company in 1998. Over the years I have gathered people around me with the same drive and passion for the job.
Quality, independent advice and knowledge are central to every job.
As an independent family business with so many years of experience, we can live up to this promise.
We have two bases of operations, one in Belgium and one in the Netherlands. But of course you can count on our expertise worldwide. Wherever the ship is, we go there for you. There are few countries that we have not visited over the years. We know which sensitivities or problems arise more quickly in certain countries. An extra plus for you as a customer.
In addition to our extensive years of experience in the maritime industry, our expertise is reinforced by a comprehensive array of prestigious certificates and inspection labels. These accolades serve as a testament to our commitment to providing top-notch services and maintaining the highest standards in the industry.
For instance, our office in the Netherlands proudly holds the inspection label ‘HISWA QUALIFIED YACHT SURVEYOR for a purchase inspection,’ which signifies our adherence to rigorous inspection protocols and our capability to deliver accurate and reliable assessments. This certification ensures that we meet the stringent criteria set by HISWA, a leading authority in the Dutch water sports industry.
Moreover, we are honored to serve as sworn surveyors, weighers, and estimators of ships for the Commercial Court of Antwerp. This role underscores our credibility and trustworthiness in providing unbiased and precise evaluations. It also highlights our extensive knowledge and expertise in maritime law and regulations, which are crucial in legal and commercial contexts.
Our qualifications extend further to include recognition as Nautibel experts, a designation that reflects our deep understanding and proficiency in various aspects of boat and yacht surveying. Additionally, we are EMCI registered yacht surveyors, which means we have met the high standards set by the European Maritime Certification Institute, an organization dedicated to ensuring professionalism and competence in maritime surveying.
We are continually updating our skills and knowledge to stay abreast of the latest developments and technologies in the maritime sector. This commitment to ongoing education and improvement allows us to offer our clients the most current and effective solutions.
