Initial & Final Draft Surveys
Precise draft mark readings and displacement calculations before and after cargo operations, establishing the definitive record of quantity loaded or discharged.
Every Metric Ton Accounted For
Our Bulk Carrier Draft Surveys provide independent determinations of loaded and discharged cargo quantities, serving as the definitive record for your shipments. By meticulously measuring the vessel's draft marks and calculating changes in displacement before and after operations, we ensure that every metric ton is strictly accounted for.
Conducted by experienced maritime professionals, our surveys rigorously account for all critical variables—from local water density and consumable changes to complex hull deformations like hogging and sagging. Executed to the highest international standards, we deliver transparent, indisputable cargo weight certifications that safeguard your commercial interests and prevent costly discrepancies between shippers, charterers, and receivers.
