Basil quoted upon obtaining the accreditations: "We are truly elated having passed all ethics exams and subject matter demanding exams associated with the Accredited Senior Appraiser (ASA) certification. Our strong commercial expertise in the field of valuing marine assets, both ocean going vessels but also "brown water" and Jones Act assets, is now founded on strong academic background - and, also strict adherence to professional and ethical rules and USPAP. We are looking forward to adding value to the business of our clients by being able to offer demonstrably superior services".
