Independent verification of bunker deliveries to ships. We measure, take samples and record everything, so you know you get what you pay for.
A bunker delivery involves large quantities and large sums. A small difference between the BDN and what actually ends up in the ship's tanks can quickly cost thousands of euros. Our surveyor measures before and after delivery, on the barge and on board, and records the results objectively.
We work on behalf of the shipowner, trader or supplier, but have no interest in the outcome ourselves. So in case of a dispute, you have a report that all parties take seriously.
Gauging the barge and ship tanks before delivery starts, and checking the measuring equipment.
Manual measurements, corrected for temperature, trim and list.
Conversion to standard volume and weight based on density, using the applicable ASTM tables.
Continuous drip sampling during delivery, after which the samples are sealed and distributed in the presence of both parties.
Checking and comparing the bunker delivery note (BDN) and all measurement data.
Survey report with photos the same day and, where needed, a letter of protest.
For any party that wants certainty about a delivery.
Send us the vessel, location and time. We confirm quickly, also at night and at weekends.
