Any photograph you include in your report should either provide proof of a statement contained within it or somehow add value to the report. The assumption for any report you write has to be that it will land on the desk of someone whose previous exposure to marine assets is what they see reported on the news.
Your planning worked. Your equipment was packed, and you have arrived at the asset full of vim and vigor! It’s time to gather the data and get the inspection done!
From the moment you leave your house or office you represent yourself, your client, and your company, act as if someone is watching and judging you because they probably are.
The marine consultants’ bag of tricks is, by nature, limited. There is only so much you can carry with you and this is normally limited to one Tardis-like backpack.

Welcome to what is planned to be a seven-part series covering the attendance, inspection, and reporting that may be carried out by a marine consultant for the audit or survey of a vessel or other asset.
