Quantity Surveys - Clear figures, reliable reporting

Draft survey

A draft survey calculates the weight of cargo on board by measuring the vessel’s draught and taking into account ballast water and other influencing factors. This method is commonly used for bulk shipments and allows for a reliable comparison between loaded and discharged quantities. Our surveyors carry out each draft survey with precision to minimise discrepancies and ensure accurate documentation.

Barge gauging

Barge gauging involves measuring the draught of inland barges to calculate the weight of cargo loaded or discharged. This method is commonly used in inland bulk transport. Our surveyors carry out these measurements with precision and care.

Tally survey

A tally survey involves counting and recording cargo units during loading or discharging, across various lots or parcels. Our team carries out these surveys with punctuality and care to ensure clear and complete reporting. Tally operations are essential in preventing quantity discrepancies and supporting smooth cargo handovers.

Supervision of weighing systems

Supervision of weighing systems ensures that cargo weights are correctly recorded during loading or unloading of vessels, trucks or trains. Our surveyors check calibration certificates and register weights per lot or means of transport to ensure reliable documentation.
