‘The attention to detail in all the author’s subjects is very good indeed. Whether you are already an experienced marine surveyor or are about to enter the profession, this is one book that should be considered and kept within easy reach and used as a reference book on a regular basis, especially for the newly qualified marine surveyor.’
The Report, International Institute of Marine Surveying


‘Wall makes helpful suggestions on presenting the information and warns surveyors that, in a consultative role, “you are only as good as your last opinion”.’
Fairplay


‘With a downturn in officer training during the 1980s and 90s now creating a shortage of marine surveyors, this book will serve as a good foundation for those coming into the market, and the extensive set of template survey reports included as appendices will provide a solid framework on which to develop their skills.’
Nautilus International Telegraph


‘Marine surveyors/reviewers have described this as a “must have” book on their shelves, ideal to help a new surveyor learn his craft.’
Marine Technology, Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME)
