Carrying out both these functions quickly, accurately and with a background of practicality can be of immense benefit to shiprepairers. Any shiprepair manager can tell you that a wishy-washy surveyor makes their life very hard, and though a fully professional one may be hard to manipulate, the job gets done all the quicker.
