Essential Cargo & Marine Inspection Services
Marine inspection and cargo surveying are critical components of global trade, ensuring that goods are transported safely, legally, and in the condition promised. Our state of the art services provide independent verification for ship owners, charterers, insurers, and traders.
Core Inspection Services
As per industry we divide these services into vessel-focused and cargo-focused inspections:
Cargo Surveying
- Draft Surveys: Our inspectors are adept in determining the weight of bulk cargo (like coal, grain, or ore) by measuring the vessel’s displacement before and after loading/unloading.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection (PSI): Our certified and competent surveyors verify the quality, quantity, and packaging of goods before they are loaded to ensure they meet contractual specifications.
- Damage Surveys: Our team excels in investigating the extent and cause of damage to cargo during transit for insurance claims.
- Hold/Tank Cleanliness: We expertly ensure that a ship’s storage areas are free of contaminants or previous cargo residues before new goods are loaded.
Technical Marine Surveys
- On-Hire/Off-Hire Surveys: We are deeply experienced in documenting the condition of a vessel and the amount of fuel (bunker) on board at the start and end of a charter period to prevent disputes.
- Bunker Quantity Surveys (BQS): Our surveyors hold firm hands on experience in measuring the amount of fuel delivered during refueling to ensure the vessel receives exactly what was paid for.
- Condition & Valuation (C&V): We use to do detailed inspections which are generally required by banks or insurance companies to determine a vessel’s market value and structural integrity.
