Technical Inspection & Maritime Survey Scope

Draft Surveys & Displacement Calculations: Precision draft readings (forward, midships, aft, port, and starboard) conducted using calibrated density hydrometers and hydrostatic tables. We verify exact cargo quantity loaded or discharged on bulk carriers, eliminating commercial weight discrepancies.

On/Off-Hire Bunker & Condition Surveys: Thorough sounding and density testing of all fuel oil and marine diesel oil tanks (ROB) at vessel delivery or redelivery. Comprehensive structural audits of cargo holds, hatch covers, winches, and weather decks to document existing condition and prevent dispute.

Cargo Hold Cleanliness & Watertight Integrity: Ultrasonic hatch leak detection (Sherlog/Cygnus) and grain-cleanliness certification prior to commodity loading, ensuring zero risk of cargo contamination or water ingress.

Marine Damage Assessment & Insurance Surveys: Forensic investigations for Hull & Machinery (H&M) and P&I claims, detailing causal factors, extent of damage, repair specifications, and salvage recommendations.

“Unbiased maritime data, rigorous physics-based calculations, and immediate reporting are the foundation of risk mitigation across global shipping corridors.”
