Draft Surveys on bulk cargo’s loaded and or discharged, into or ex short sea and deep-sea bulk cargo vessels. The combination of experienced draft surveyors, correct hydrostatic data, the assistance of the vessel’s officers and certain basic requirements regarding the ballast position of the particular vessel, makes it possible to determine the weight of a bulk cargo in an accurate way.
With the same basic principle as described under vessel draft surveys, however with some different means, it is possible to determine the weight of bulk materials loaded and or discharged into motor-barges & push barges. Our surveyors are fully qualified and certified to carry out the above weight determination.
The purpose of a Marine Damage Survey is to assess the extent of the damage sustained by the hull, rig, systems, or elsewhere on the vessel. The report presents information on the probable causes of the damage, recommendations on repairs, and estimates the costs for such work. Boats get damaged. Sometimes requiring only minor work to be done, other times it is completely beyond repair.
Buyers or sellers can order an inspection of the hold prior to loading. This gives both parties the confidence that the cargo will not be contaminated by material already in the hold, or affected in any way by vessel deficiencies. Our inspectors photograph, document and report on any abnormalities they encounter. After completing the assessment, we provide an internationally recognized certificate of inspection.
The purpose of this survey is to establish the quantities of fuel onboard the vessel. This is of vital importance when chartering a vessel as it provides documented proof of the true condition of the vessel’s fuel supplies at a given point in time and prevents later claims and disputes.
In this way the Bunker Survey provides a valuable means of protecting your investment and avoiding disputes.
