Pre-signing risk review
We focus on class status, flag compliance, maintenance history, defect logs, dry-dock records, machinery condition, safety systems, software access, spares, crew knowledge, and known reliability patterns.

Vessel Acquisition Due Diligence
A vessel acquisition should be judged against the buyer's intended use, not only the seller's presentation. Onca Partners reviews the physical asset, documents, operating history, and commercial assumptions before signing or completion.
Commercial consequence
Technical findings are assessed for their impact on valuation, insurance, finance, handover, operating cost, charter readiness, and post-acquisition capital requirement.
Negotiation support
Where findings are material, we help define the practical response: completion deliverables, conditions precedent, seller rectification, escrow, holdback, warranty language, or walk-away points.
Typical questions
Questions the review is designed to answer.
- 01Does the vessel match the intended operating profile?
- 02Which defects are completion-critical?
- 03What technical exposure should change the transaction documents?
