Service Areas
Marine survey solutions designed to protect your cargo, vessel and commercial interests.

Port Captain

We act as a bridge between vessel, terminal and charterer during port operations. Planning of loading / discharging, stowage plan checks and on-site monitoring help your vessel complete the port call safely and efficiently.

Regular operational updates from the berth keep our principals informed and allow potential delays or risks to be identified at an early stage.

Cargo Survey

We carry out pre-loading and post-discharge condition surveys, checking packaging, corrosion, moisture, impact marks and deformation in detail. Where damage is suspected, high-resolution photographs, measurements and technical notes are compiled.

Our reports are written to serve as a clear technical reference for carriers, receivers, insurers and brokers.

Draft Survey

Based on draft readings, water density and trim / hog-sag conditions, we calculate the cargo quantity in line with recognised international methods. Any difference between bill of lading figures and actual loaded quantity can thus be clearly identified.

This provides a solid basis for resolving tonnage disputes in bulk and breakbulk shipments.

Bunker Survey

Through before / after bunker measurements, tank soundings and ROB determination, we independently establish the quantity of fuel onboard. Density and trim corrections are applied to verify the accuracy of delivered quantities.

Our aim is to minimise bunker shortage and quantity dispute risks while supporting transparency between suppliers and receivers.

Lashing & Unlashing Supervision

For project cargo, heavy machinery and steel products, we verify the suitability of lashing equipment, the securing pattern and the workmanship. Our supervision helps ensure the cargo remains safe and stable throughout sea passage.

During unlashing and discharge, we continue to monitor operations in order to reduce the risk of damage during handling.
