Product Name
BUNKER SAMPLING The process of testing fuel samples taken from within vessels or tanks onboard vessels which must be compliant with MARPOL 73/78 the International Convention for the Prevention of Air Pollution from ships. The sample is taken in the presence of the supplier and taken into a ratified container, locked and then sealed with a serial numbered, tamper evident seal. Samplesare retained for future evidence as evidence in case of engine failure/damage.
Routine bunker sampling is required by commercial maritime law and compliance relies upon a representative sample. Sampling provides physical evidence of sample condition at time of bunkering in case of legal proceedings.
BREAKBULK PORT CAPTAIN
Survey to determine the condition of the cargo at both load and destination port. Carried out prior to loading or discharge. Potentially supporting insurance requirements and carriers' liability.
Verifying the quality, condition and quantityof each break bulk item on behalf of theowner/receiver. Recommendations are made with reference to loading, stowage andsecuring, to prevent damage to cargoand vessel.
BULK BUYERS INSPECTION
Pre-shipment visual inspection of existing inventory on behalf of buyer/seller or insurers, to verify that the goods conform to contractual specification and to international export regulations and requirements.Can be completed at shippers yard, warehouse or wharf.
To witness, inspect, monitor and supervise bulk cargo pre-loading, loading, sampling, sample preparation and testing for quality and specifications. Failure to have required standards may result in cargo commercial impacts being compromised for futureon selling.
CARGO LASHING / HANDLING / LOGISTICS
The service of pre-planning cargo packing / handling and stowage before vessel arrival to optimise safe and timely operations.
Minimises risk of damage to cargo, vessel and life. Correct cargo lashing enables safer handling for all operational staff. Vessel utilization can be maximised by properpre-planning. Tidal and un-expectedair-drafts are considered as part of thepre-planning to avoid loss of time and additional loader movements.

CRANE / WIRE INSPECTIONS
Survey or inspection to ensure that the crane and wire are appropriate for use and compliant with statutory legal requirements. Inspections are in accordance with rules and regulations within the MO32 (Marine Order, Part 32).
Regular inspections help to minimise risk of lifting gear failure, with potential impact to vessel operational delays or risk of injury or accident to personnel or operating staff, and resultant cost.
Service Delivered Risk Being Mitigated
DRAFT SURVEY Draft Survey is carried out on bulk shipments, and is an accepted means of determination of cargo loaded or discharged from a vessel, forming the basis for which commercial documents and payment are transacted.
Providing an independent verification of cargo loaded or discharged. Minimising risk of inaccurate mechanicalweighing systems.
HOLD SURVEY - CLEANLINESS
Verification that the ship’s hold is ready to receive cargo and is completed in conjunction with hatch inspections.
Hold damage impacts the owners' ability to charter out the vessel. Identification of issues, proactive damage repair and operational process modification minimises long term impact.
HOLD SURVEY - DAMAGE
Assesses the damage to the hold of a vessel after a sea voyage. Hold Damage may be caused by number of means, including shifts in cargo, cargo liquification as a result of moisture content or by overloadingcargoes etc.
Hold damage impacts the owners' ability to charter out the vessel. Identification of issues, proactive damage repair and operational process modification minimises long term impact.
HULL AND MACHINERY SURVEY
Inspection of Hull or Machinery to ascertain extent of damage following incident including details of potential cause,damage description, repair optionsand potential costs.
Detailed understanding of nature of damage, and operational impacts and limitations to vessel.
HATCH COVER INTEGRITY
Inspection of ship holds and hatch covers to identify and verify the vessels' seaworthiness before cargo loading.
Leaking hatch covers are a major cause of cargo claims with water ingress the result of poor maintenance or failure to secure hatchcovers correctly. Identification of ineffective hatch covers and support with maintenance management plan minimises risk of cargo claim to operator.
LOADMASTER / PORT SUPERINTENDENCY BULK
Supervise load/discharge operations in coordination with vessel and terminal to optimise stow, safety and load / discharge operations.
