During the condition survey we mainly focus on general condition of the vessel and specifically on cargo spaces, holds, hatch covers, cranes, verifying if there is any damage. In addition, we also check general condition of other areas of the ship, such as bridge equipment, engine room, life-saving equipment, fire-fighting equipment, radio communications station, main deck, maintenance of common areas, kitchen and provisions etc . The surveyor verifies that the ship certificates are valid.

The bunker survey is required in order to calculate the exact amount of bunkers on board at the time of vessel’s delivery/redelivery. Our surveyor carry out sounding of all bunkers tanks and performs corrections of soundings to vessel’s trim and heel to find out the volume in tanks. Than it is applied corrections for temperatures and specific gravity, in order to determine the actual quantity of bunkers on board at the time/place of survey. Our surveyor checks vessel’s consumption, as per perusal of engine log book and charter party speed and consumptions to establish the amount of bunkers remaining on board at Delivery/Redelivery time.
