Draft Survey (Hydrostatic Displacement)
Precision calculation of cargo tonnage by measuring forward, aft, and midships waterlines. Fully compliant with UN ECE / BIMCO Draft Code for dry bulk cargo operations and commercial dispute resolution.

Trusted by P&I Clubs, international underwriters, shipowners, and charterers since 2007. Authoritative draft surveys, bunker quantity custody transfers, and damage condition assessments executed with prompt port dispatch.
Each survey is executed against internationally recognised marine governance protocols. Reports include SHA-256 cryptographic tamper verification and statutory certification cross-references.

Precision calculation of cargo tonnage by measuring forward, aft, and midships waterlines. Fully compliant with UN ECE / BIMCO Draft Code for dry bulk cargo operations and commercial dispute resolution.

Independent measurement and custody transfer verification of marine fuel oil (VLSFO / MDO / MGO). Prevents quantity discrepancies, density manipulation, and cappuccino aeration losses.

Comprehensive pre-loading inspection of cargo holds, bilges, and hatch covers. Guarantees hold conditions meet grain-clean or bauxite-clean standards and prevents cargo contamination claims.

Rigorous class-aligned technical audit of hull structure, prime movers, auxiliary engines, steering machinery, and electrical installations for insurers, underwriters, and technical managers.

Exhaustive pre-acquisition assessment evaluating seaworthiness, CAPEX liability, Class society records, and hull thickness for prospective buyers and financiers.

Emergency post-incident technical forensic investigation, steel deformation mapping, and root-cause damage costing for P&I Clubs and hull underwriters.
Require specialised Bollard Pull Certification, Ultrasonic Hatch Testing, or On-Hire/Off-Hire condition surveys tailored to specific charter party covenants?
A four-stage procedural execution model ensuring technical accuracy, non-repudiation, and tamper-evident custody from initial berth boarding to final report sign-off.
Submit vessel IMO, gross tonnage, berth location, and survey protocol requirements. The operations desk creates an immediate project file.
A certified Master Mariner or naval surveyor is mobilized with complete inspection tooling, class-approved hydrometers, and safety gear.
Physical inspection of waterlines, tank soundings, and cargo condition conducted jointly with the vessel command and chief engineer.
Hydrostatic calculations, density corrections, and photographic plates are compiled into a tamper-evident, class-admissible PDF certificate.
Our operations desk dispatches certified marine surveyors to Takoradi, Tema, and Abidjan 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
