All You Need to Know about Bunker Surveys
- Scope of Inspection: We conduct a thorough inspection of the vessel’s overall condition at the start and/or end of the charter. This includes examining the vessel’s holds, main deck, cargo working areas, and external shell plating.
- Expert Analysis: Our experienced surveyors meticulously inspect every critical component, such as bulkheads, hoppers, bilge, tank tops, hatch covers, and other structural elements, to identify any existing damage or wear.
- Detailed Reporting: We provide a comprehensive report that includes descriptions and photographs of any issues found, offering a clear comparison with previous surveys to identify any new damage or wear.
On/Off-Hire Bunker Survey
- Bunker Measurement: We carry out accurate measurements of the fuel quantities in all bunker tanks at the time of delivery or redelivery. This includes applying corrections for vessel trim, temperature, and specific gravity to determine the precise amount of fuel onboard.
- Certification: At delivery, we issue a “Delivery Certificate” detailing the amount of bunkers on board. At redelivery, we provide a “Redelivery Certificate,” helping to resolve any potential disputes over bunker quantities between owners and charterers.
