Bunker Survey
Request a QuoteSurveyors will evaluate the exact quantity of bunkers on board while
delivering it to the Ship s Owners. They will collect the necessary tank
soundings, estimate the readings and match up to the calibration
tables, measuring the net density and actual temperatures. Plus, the
will calculate the sum total bunkers followed by issuing a bunker
statement at the end. All of this will be carried out together with the
chief engineer. We lay emphasis on the fact- number of ship owners leave
the above procedure to the vessel s chief engineer. Most of the time
they are not familiar with the sounding tables of the barge, the manner
of sounding and unpumpables in the tanks, this results in a bunker
quantity dispute after completion of bunkering. The then appointed
surveyor will not be able to evaluate the condition before initiation of
bunkering, which may hamper the analysis and investigations. Hence we
strongly recommend appointing a surveyor prior to carrying out Bunker
operations.
