International Marine Performance Inspections (MPI) — NZ, Australia & USA

MaxiDive Co., Ltd offers class-approved International Marine Performance Inspections (MPI) and commercial underwater inspection services tailored for the demanding requirements of shipowners, fleet managers, ports, and insurers in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States.

MPI services are designed to assess hull condition, underwater appendages, propeller performance, and structural integrity with rigorous reporting standards aligned with classification societies, insurance providers, and regulatory authorities.

What Is a Marine Performance Inspection (MPI)?

 

A Marine Performance Inspection (MPI) is a structured, detailed underwater survey that evaluates the operational condition of a vessel’s hull, propeller, rudder, sea chests, anodes, and other underwater components. MPI goes beyond basic inspections, providing performance metrics and condition assessments that support:

  • class compliance evaluations

  • pre-purchase inspections

  • technical performance benchmarking

  • fuel efficiency diagnostics

  • insurance risk assessment

MPI is increasingly recognized as an essential tool in modern vessel management, ensuring data-driven decision making and proactive maintenance planning.

Why MPI Matters for Shipowners & Operators

Conducting an MPI helps identify performance issues before they escalate, enabling:

  • optimized fuel consumption

  • improved vessel speed and maneuverability

  • reduced unexpected downtime

  • accurate estimation of maintenance schedules

  • strengthened insurance and class reports

For international commercial operations such as those in New Zealand, Australia, and the USA, MPI provides a competitive advantage by improving operational predictability and supporting transparent technical documentation.
