Marine Matters Pty Ltd operates out of Gumdale, a suburb in Brisbane near Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia. Marine Matters Pty Ltd was incorporated in 1996 and has survived in a difficult industry due to a combination of sound management, the provision of practical, useful services, and support from a broad range of equally well established and stable, long term clients and business associates.
We believe that it is very important for marine surveyors specialising in the small ship sector, to have extensive prior experience in boat building and repair in a variety of construction materials. We also ensure that our surveyors have a current accreditation with the Australian Marine Safety Authority in the areas relevant to the jobs that are allocated to them.

Services
Marine Matters Pty Ltd has been established to assist owners, operators, insurers, and regulators of vessels to make informed decisions in relation to the construction of vessels, their condition after construction, and their compliance with the relevant regulations and safety requirements. We have used the term 'vessel' to describe a dinghy, boat, launch, vessel, or small ship (under 40m in length).
Marine surveyors are only able to visually inspect the accessible areas of the vessel but most surveyors also use a small hammer to sound the structure, and moisture meters to check for relative moisture levels in FRP composite and timber structures, weather permitting. Infra-red thermal imaging cameras can also be used to detect moisture in these materials.
Marine Matters provides financial institutions, liquidators, Australian customs, insurers, divorcing couples, and accountants with vessel valuations. They request valuations such as 'Market Value', Auction or Forced Sale Value', 'Agreed Value', and values before and after marine incidents.
There are published guides for values of smaller, popular, production line vessels but there is no published data base of sale prices for most vessels sold in Australia.Listed asking prices for boats for sale on websites are generally higher than the actual selling prices and the listings are difficult to compare unless they include an extensive description of the vessels for sale.

Clients, who are having a vessel constructed, or their finance companies, are able to consult with Marine Matters and the builders to develop a plan for payments at mutually acceptable stages of the construction. When a payment is due, a Marine Matters' surveyor checks the construction to ensure the stage has been completed.
