Determination of cargo quantity based on vessel draft — neutral, traceable, and documented according to international standards.
A draft survey is used to determine the amount of cargo loaded or discharged by measuring the change in a vessel’s draft. The method is internationally recognised and commonly used for bulk cargo operations. I conduct draft surveys neutrally, with technical accuracy, and with complete documentation.
Recording forward, midship, and aft drafts, taking into account visibility, trim, and water conditions.
Measuring dock water density, as it directly influences the displacement calculation.
Using the vessel’s hydrostatic tables to determine displacement before and after loading or discharging.
Calculating the difference between both displacement values — the basis for determining the loaded or discharged cargo amount.
Preparation of a complete draft‑survey report including all measurements, calculations, and remarks.
Draft surveys require accuracy, experience, and neutral, traceable documentation. That is exactly what I stand for.
Objective execution without conflicts of interest.
Accurate measurements and calculations according to international standards.
Complete reports for shipowners, agents, and insurers.
Focused, reliable, and technically sound.
Draft surveys are commonly used for:
For draft surveys, verification measurements, or independent documentation — I look forward to hearing from you.
