DRAFT SURVEYS
Archimedes’ principle is the basic principle of the weight determinations (“Draft Surveys”) on bulk cargo’s loaded and/or discharged, into or ex short sea and deep-sea bulk cargo vessels.
The combination of experienced draft surveyors, correct hydrostatic data, the assistance of the vessel’s officers and certain basic requirements regarding the ballast position of the particular vessel, makes it possible to determine the weight of a bulk cargo in an accurate way.
BARGE GAUGING
With the same basic principle as described under vessel draft surveys, however with some different means, it is possible to determine the weight of bulk materials loaded and/or discharged into motor-barges & push barges.
Our surveyors are fully qualified and certified to carry out the above weight determination.
QUALITY INSPECTION & SAMPLING
Our surveyors are very well experienced in the field of commodity inspections and sampling. In many cases, the quality of a certain commodity will be determined as per visual inspection. In several cases however, the quality of a certain commodity will be determined by a combination of visual inspection and sampling, possible to combine with analyses carried out by a fully equipped professional laboratory.
Our company is very well experienced and equipped to carry out visual inspection and sampling before, during and after loading and/or discharging bulk cargo’s into/ex deep-sea vessels, short sea vessels, barges & containers and pre-inspections on stockpiled materials.
We can carry out the same inspection & sampling services on warehouse stored commodities. Furthermore we have professional equipment to check if commodities are free of radio-activity.
