Bunker Survey

With bunker survey, our experienced surveyors will:
1. Conduct a full initial gauging of all the vessel’s tanks and record the actual initial quantity of bunkers onboard the vessel.
2. Compare the actual figures with the vessel’s declared figures and if a discrepancy is noted, re-gauge the ship’s tanks.
3. Conduct a full initial gauging of all the barge tanks and record the actual initial quantity of bunker fuel on the barge.
4. Ensure that the sampling equipment is set up properly to draw the bunker drip samples from the manifold during the bunkering.
5. Check that standard safety procedures for bunker transfer are complied with.
6. Monitor the ship’s bunker tanks regularly during the bunkering for any signs of cappuccino bunkers or entrapped air.
7. Conduct a thorough final gauging of all the barge tanks and record the actual quantity of bunker fuel remaining on the barge.
8. Conduct a thorough final gauging of all the vessel’s tanks and record the actual quantity of bunkers on board after completion of bunkering.
