Pleasure craft are an increasing proportion of West Coast vessel activity.
Amongst our professional staff are yachtsmen with many years of experience in both sail and power. BME maintains an excellent working relationship with the classification society people active on the West Coast. Our familiarity with their rules and procedures can save you both time and money where inspections and tests must satisfy a classification society surveyor. BME knows its way around West Coast vessels, from yachts to multi-thousand ton ships. Hull failure analysis has ranged from high impact steel for icebreakers, through aluminum hull fish boats, to fiberglass yachts.
