Independent Surveys, Coordinated from the Chartering Desk

We appoint and coordinate independent surveyors at load and discharge, so quantity, condition and stowage questions are settled before they become claims.

What we coordinate

Four Surveys We Arrange Most Often

Surveyors are independent and appointed per job. Findings go to both sides at the same time.

Survey

Draft Survey

Cargo quantity by draft at load and discharge, the basis for B/L figures on bulk cargoes.

Survey

On/off-hire Condition Survey

Vessel condition, bunkers and damage recorded at delivery and redelivery under time charter.

Survey

Cargo Condition & Loading Supervision

Pre-shipment condition, moisture/TML checks and loading supervision for bulk and breakbulk.

Survey

Lashing & Securing Survey

Stowage, lashing and securing of project and breakbulk cargo checked before sailing.
