A draft survey is a means of determining the weight of cargo on board the vessel, where the displacement of the water before and after (un)loading is measured, with the resulting difference representing the weight of the designated cargo. A survey is performed by reading the vessel's draft markings at six standard points on the hull: forward, midship and towards both the port and starboard sides.
Our highly-qualified professionals have extensive experience in this service and are available 24/7 to perform a draft survey and produce an independent report using the "Draft Survey Software System", based on the internationally standardised draft survey protocol. This programme calculates the loaded or discharged weight and a signed quantity agreement will be handed over to the chief officer with the draft survey report sent to the relevant parties.
