Start-Alliance LLC., provides ships valuation services in Moscow and other Russian regions.

In Russia, sea-craft and river-craft are legally classified as immovable property and subject to compulsory state registration (Art. 130 of the Russian Civil Code). However, from the economic point of view, due to their functional and design characteristics, all ships should be considered (and valued, too) as a category of machinery and equipment which requires its own valuation methods.
