1.Loading and Discharge for Crude Oil and Petroleum Products

The scope of operations consists of tank inspection on ship and shore, determination of quantity of liquid cargoes on board a vessel. Essentially, the theory is that the surveyor measures the depth of free space above the liquid cargo in each tank, then calculates, using the ship’s table, the volume of liquid and then computes the volume of liquid at standard temperature and pressure.

2.Bunker Survey

Independent measurement of fuel oil tanks on board for any kind of vessel, to determine the quantity of bunker remaining on board. The oil tanks and daily oil tanks for consumption should be sounded and the weight of oil calculated from the volume in each tank, correction the soundings and tables as required for list, trim, and units. Multiply the volume found by the density to get weight in tons.

3.Liquid Cargo Sampling

To take certain small amount of the cargo which is still representing the cargo for checking the quality or specification of the cargo for reference purpose against any dispute which could be arising in the future with regards to the quality.

4.Chemical & Gas

Loading and Discharge For Chemical, Petrochemical Kind of inspection consists of measuring, ca../libration inspection on cleanliness, water tightness and other tank test and quantity inspection.

5.Loading and Discharge for LNG and LPG

Liquid Natural Gases (LNG) and Liquid Petroleum Gases (LPG) which is one of the clean energies in the new age. The inspection is the only survey organ designated by sellers and the buyers in quantity check at the time of discharge and loading.

6.Loading and Discharge for Palm Oil

Pre shipment inspection and supervises loading and discharging operation for the operation for the Palm Oil and its various products, mostly the exported ones. The scope of works is tank inspection on ship and shore and to determine the quantity and quality of the products prior to, during and after loading or discharging.

1.Bunker Survey On/Off Hire Condition of Vessel, Tug and Barge

An On/Off Hire survey will be called for at the commencement of a charter. The purpose is to list the actual condition of entire vessel or tug and barge at the commencement of the hire period in order that damage done later can be charged to the correct party.

2.Draft Survey

This is to determine the quantity of the cargo which transported in bulk such as iron ore, coal, grain, and steel scrap, salt. In draft survey cargo quantities are computed based on the change of the ship’s draft prior to and after the loading or discharging by using the scales or table which equipped on board the vessel.

4.Towing and Lashing Inspection

To Inspect and recommend the securing of cargo on board, barges or vessels and towing arrangement, including the sizes and strength of the equipments and ropes, so as to ensure the safety of towing navigation related to the seaworthiness.

5.Tank Calibration

To determine the volume of goods is applicable on cargo tanks of the vessel, barge and shore tanks. Measurement is carried out by using the tanks data. This convenient method is universally adapted as the most efficient and reliable way of measuring the tank volume, when reaching large amount.

6.Cargo Hold Cleanliness

Usually conducted before loading certain cargo, to check whether the hold space is clean, dry and suitable to be loaded by the intended cargo.

7.Condition of or Damage to Vessels

This is to ascertain or to investigate the nature, cause & extent of damage/ accident, also salvage value, if necessary, to estimate the repair costs. This services also valid to conduct on the spot survey on damage to loading equipment, ship, cargo caused by an accident during loading or unloading and to estimate the amount of loss.

8.Cargo Hold Cleanliness

Usually conducted before loading certain cargo, to check whether the hold space is clean, dry and suitable to be loaded by the intended cargo.

9.Pre Purchase Condition

Superficial of vessels offered for sale/ purchase to determine general condition of hull and machinery, or otherwise of purchase or mortgage or insurance purpose.

10.P & I Entry

To check the vessel’s condition when applying to be the member of a certain Protection & Indemnity Organization. This job is done at eh safety equipment, fire fighting appliances, machineries and equipment, hull structure, navigation equipment for various interested parties.

1.Tally and Condition

To check accurately the quantity of the cargo by way of counting every sling or truck or whatever movement of the goods whether during loading, unloading, or transfer from one place to another. In the same time, condition of the cargo or bag or package is inspected, to ascertain whether there is any damage or quality discrepancy.

2.Container Inspection

Inspection for ascertaining the physical condition of the container. They may be packed badly at some inland depot. Theft may occur long before, or long after the sea passage. And damage may be due to a damaged container, but the surveyor may well not be called in until after the goods are out of the box and the box is on its way somewhere else. Inspection for Cargo Quantity and its condition During Stuffing Into or Unstuffing from its Container. This survey is covering to conform of the container seal, packaging condition, marks, numbers, of the goods at the time of devanning of the container, quantity and visual condition of the contents, and if necessary survey report is prepared for the respective purpose of delivery, Insurance or shipper claim or customs clearance.

3.Condition of or Damage to Cargo

The scope of work for Port Captaincy Comprises of Pre-Shipment Inspection, Stowage plan for loading, discharging and rendering services as advisor to ships Master. When cargo is found damage, it is necessary to estimate the extent of damage and also to find out the cause of damage for a claim for compensation. In the trade business, the usual procedure is when the damage is covered by insurance, the report is submitted to the Insurance Company, and when the liability of damage lies with the shippers or the carriers, than the surveyor’s report is submitted to them for a claim for compensation.

4.Pre Shipment of Pre Loading Condition

To determine the condition of the goods and its packages, whether it is complying with the sales contract or normal practice of transportation, before they are shipped or loaded into the vessels or transportation vehicles.

5.Weighment and Measurement

Measurement is carried out when volume of the goods is applicable, otherwise weighment will be conducted. The practice is also done in line with checking the kind, shape, condition, shipping mark, case number of the cargo with the relative shipping documents and further to certify the cubic measurement and gross weight of the cargo.

6.Break Bulk, Opening Seals/ Unsealing

Break bulk surveys covering the inspection of the hatch and top most cargo on board the vessel, first opening the cargo holds to check whether the cargo stowage as well as maintenance of the cargo during the sea passage was going well, before the cargo is discharged. Opening seals/ unsealing is also inspection before discharge, but from the containers to check whether the seals are still intact or in good condition, or damaged by other party

1.Quantity Determination

It is an international commercial custom that the weights of trade quantities of those bulk cargos such as coal are determined by Draft Survey for vessel and barge.

2.Quality Determination

Sampling will be carried out at the goods in Mining Area, at vessels/ barge’s loading or discharging and other relevant places according to the standard method. Samples preparation and analysis will be carried out by the standard method as per the requirement at the laboratory.This survey is covering to conform of the container seal, packaging condition, marks, numbers, of the goods at the time of devanning of the container, quantity and visual condition of the contents, and if necessary survey report is prepared for the respective purpose of delivery, Insurance or shipper claim or customs clearance.

3.Quantity, Sampling and Analysis

To determine the quantity by draft survey, sampling and analysis and analysis consist of preparation, sizing test, proximate, specific energy and Hargrove grindability index.
