Bunker Survey

Bunker Survey, also known as Bunker Delivery Survey, Bunker Quantity Survey (BQS) or Bunker Stem Survey, is a crucial component in preventing bunker delivery losses.

Bunker surveyors are primarily concerned with independently verifying and determining the quantity delivered by a barge and the quantity received by the vessel. These two quantities should be within an acceptable tolerance (normally 0.5% of the quantity received). If this is not the case, the surveyor must determine the cause of the discrepancy.

What we can do for you...

  • Complete sounding of all ship tanks and documentation of the actual initial bunker stocks on board the ship.
  • Comparison of the actual bunker stocks with those reported by the vessel. If a discrepancy occurs, a new sounding is required.
  • Complete sounding of all tanks of the bunker barge and documentation of the actual bunker stocks on the bunker barge.
  • Ensure that the bunker drop sample can be drawn properly.
  • Review of standard bunker transfer safety procedures.
  • Continuously monitor the bunkering process for signs of cappuccino bunkering or trapped air.
  • Vollständiges Peilen aller Tanks der Bunker-Barge und Dokumentation der tatsächlichen Endbestände auf der Bunker-Barge.
  • Complete sounding of all ship tanks and documentation of the actual final stocks on board the ship.
  • Comparison of the delivered and received amount of bunker.
  • Sealing and labeling the bunker samples.
