We can provide professional advice/services to the marine industry such as Loading & Discharging Cargo Supervision, On/Off Hire Bunker Surveys, Draft Surveys, Bunker Surveys, Vessel Condition Surveys, and Pre-Purchasing Surveys, IMCA Survey, OVID Survey, Dynamic Positioning and Offshore Rig Inspections.
Our Marine Warranty Survey provides independent technical assessments for marine and offshore operations. We verify that every aspect of your project from including planning to execution meets established marine standards, safety requirements, and contractual conditions.
Coal is classified as hazardous cargo under the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code. Self-heating, spontaneous combustion and flammable gases are common issues with coal which poses a significant fire risk during transportation. We can assist in all stages of the transportation such as coal temperature and monitoring, advising on spontaneous combustion, and explosion hazard management under the IMSBC Code requirements.
Our surveyors of naval architects and master mariners can work together to help our client in the investigation of grounding, collusion, accidents on board the vessel, and the extent of any damages as well as the possibility of repair costs.
We support newbuilding projects from development to delivery, ensuring every stage meets international standards and owner requirements. Our team provides design review, construction supervision, specification compliance checks, stability and structural evaluation, and quality assurance throughout the build process.
Grain and food cargoes are highly susceptible to damage and deterioration, often leading to claims against shipowners, charterers, or other stakeholders involved. We provide independent investigation and assessment for bulk commodities such as soybeans, wheat, corn, sugar, and other food products. Our services cover issues including wetting, heating, physical damage, contamination, infestation, and mold growth. We also conduct representative sampling of designated cargo for accurate laboratory analysis and reporting.
Containers and cargo can be damaged by fire, mishandling, or issues during loading, unloading, and transport. We conduct inspections to assess the condition of both the container and its contents, accurately identify the extent of damage, and document findings for liability assessment, claims, or repair planning. Our clear reporting helps ensure smooth and efficient resolution.
We provide complete marine engineering and ship design solutions supported by advanced offshore analysis software such as MOSES, SACS, and industry-standard engineering tools. Our team delivers precise structural, hydrodynamic, and stability assessments to ensure safe, efficient, and compliant vessel and offshore asset designs.
Transporting cargo prone to liquefaction poses a significant risk to vessel stability and safety. Liquefaction can cause a sudden shift in cargo, leading to a loss of stability, list, or capsizing of the vessel. Cargoes that may liquefy are typically categorized as Group A under the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code. To ensure safe transportation we can offer guidance shipment survey which involves proper cargo inspection, sampling and laboratory testing/analysis (Moisture Content and Flow Moisture Point).
Steel cargo such as coils, bars, plates, pipes, and structural steel require proper stowage and compliance with shipping guidelines to prevent damage. We provide pre-shipment surveys and investigate common issues including physical damage, corrosion, and deformation. Our assessment also identifies the cause of damage, whether from mishandling, improper weight distribution, shifting during transit, or overloading.
We perform precise underwater inspections using certified divers to assess hull, structural, and seabed conditions. Our team also provides technical support to the lead salvage contractors, subsea verification, monitoring, and operational assistance during wreck recovery.
We can help verify the condition of the vessel, including tanks, pipelines, and safety systems, before loading cargo. Confirm compliance with IMO regulations, MARPOL, and SOLAS safety standards. As for the cargo, we can measure and calculate the volume of oil loaded or discharged using calibration tables . We can also witness sampling and testing carried out by third parties to ensure the cargo meets specified quality standards.
