How can I request a survey?

xChange offers you global coverage to conduct surveys.

In every trading deal you can open the survey by reaching out to our xChange team on the deal chat. Our global network of surveyors will be contact your depot of choice and start arranging the container inspection.

We offer several types of industry standard surveys described below:

• CONDITION SURVEY is typically used to verify whether the condition of the container is up to a specified standard. During the survey any specific faults are highlighted and most cost-effective next step is proposed . Photos are not included but can be taken upon request (1 USD per picture).
• ON-HIRE INSPECTION is the most common inspection type for One-Way leasing moves. The containers are selected from container stack based on a provided criterion (e.g. CW). Survey result is the list of container IDs meeting the required criteria with photos of the units. All equipment not meeting the requirement that has been surveyed in the process receives recommendation for next step ( repair/reject). Survey includes 7 pictures.
• OFF-HIRE INSPECTION is conducted after the container has been returned. In case you have received a repair estimate that you would like to have reviewed by a neutral party, our surveyor partners will check, and breakdown all estimate line items. They will verify that repair costs are in line with the local market and repair standard and amend if necessary (Survey includes 5 pictures). 
• CSC INSPECTION is required for units with invalid or expired CSC plates. It is often required to enter a terminal or for the units to be loaded on vessels. CSC inspection certificate can be made directly by our surveying partners and for special situations it can also be issued by the Rina class society.
