We provide thorough inspection of the vessel’s structural and watertight integrity, system’s installations, and operating condition, including performance and issue a comprehensive report.

Survey to determine the condition of the cargo at both load and destination port. Carried out prior to loading or discharge. Potentially supporting insurance requirements and carriers' liability.

Verifying the quality, condition and quantity of each break bulk item on behalf of the owner/receiver. Recommendations are made with reference to loading, stowage and securing, to prevent damage to cargo and vessel.

Pre-shipment visual inspection of existing inventory on behalf of buyer/seller or insurers, to verify that the goods conform to contractual specification and to international export regulations and requirements.

Can be completed at shippers yard, warehouse or wharf. To witness, inspect, monitor and supervise bulk cargo pre-loading, loading, sampling, sample preparation and testing for quality and specifications. Failure to have required standards may result in cargo commercial impacts being compromised for future on selling.

The process of testing fuel samples taken from within vessels or tanks onboard vessels which must be compliant with MARPOL 73/78 the International Convention for the Prevention of Air Pollution from ships.

The sample is taken in the presence of the supplier and taken into a ratified container, locked and then sealed with a serial numbered, tamper evident seal. Samples are retained for future evidence as evidence in case of engine failure/damage.

Routine bunker sampling is required by commercial maritime law and compliance relies upon a representative sample. Sampling provides physical evidence of sample condition at time of bunkering in case of legal proceedings.
