Determine Dry Cargo Weight Accurately and Resolve Quantity Disputes with Confidence

A Draft Survey is a highly precise, internationally recognized method for determining the weight of dry bulk cargo loaded onto or discharged from a vessel. It is an essential tool for buyers, sellers, and charterers when shore-based scales are unavailable, unreliable, or when the cargo is transferred directly between two vessels.

Our certified surveyors conduct draft surveys by meticulously measuring the vessel’s draft at multiple points and calculating the displacement change, accounting for variables such as water density, bunkers, ballast, and stores.
