Most vessel owners and operators don’t need more apps or reminders, they want confidence that everything is being overseen properly.

That’s what VOTO delivers.

Independent oversight and structured support, with scheduled attendance at agreed frequencies.
Clear updates, early insights, improved reliability, fewer surprises, and better visibility over what the vessel is actually costing to run.

It’s a steady, professional layer that supports private vessels, commercial operations, crewed yachts, and fleets.

RT Marine: Pre‑Purchase Surveys

Every vessel tells a story.

Our job is to read it properly — structure, condition, compliance, and risk — before you commit.
A disciplined pre‑purchase survey gives clarity, protects your investment, and sets the standard for governance‑aligned ownership.

Independent. Technical. Accountable.

A massive week across the yards with a strong mix of vessels moving through RTM for pre‑purchase surveys, condition assessments, valuations and technical oversight.

Monohulls, multihulls, sail & power, commercial operators & recreational vessels, all moving through haul‑outs, in‑water inspections, structural reviews and full‑vessel assessments. A diverse workload that shows the breadth of RTM’s capability and the trust placed in our independent reporting.

Every vessel carries its own operational profile and technical history, and our role remains consistent: deliver clear, structured, regulator‑aligned reporting so owners, brokers and operators can make informed decisions with confidence.

RTM continues to support the industry with a full suite of marine surveying, valuation and governance services — now strengthened with the release of IPS and VOTO.

Busy times, diverse vessels, consistent outcomes.
