Our Expertise in Draft Survey Operations

Draft surveys are a widely accepted method in international shipping for determining the exact quantity of cargo loaded or discharged from a vessel.

Our surveys follow internationally recognized procedures, including:

  • draft readings at bow, midship, and stern

  • hydrostatic calculations

  • ballast verification

  • trim and list corrections

  • water density measurements

The objective is to produce a reliable draft survey report accepted by commercial parties and marine insurers.
