shore, determination of quantity of liquid cargoes on board a
vessel. Essentially, the theory is that the surveyor measures the
depth of free space above the liquid cargo in each tank. Then

computes the volume of liquid at standard temperature and
pressure.
b. Bunker Survey
Independent measurement of fuel oil tanks on board for any
kind of vessel, to determine the quantity of bunker remaining
on board. The oil tanks and daily oil tanks for consumption
should be sounded and the weight of oil calculated from
the volume in each tank, correcting the soundings and tables
as required for list trim, and units. Multiply the volume found by
the density to get weight in tons.

job is done at the safety equipment, fire fighting appliances,
machineries and equipment, hull structure, navigation
equipment for various interested parties.
h. Tank Calibration
To determine the volume tanks of the vessel, barge of goods is
applicable on cargo and shore tanks. Measurement is carried
out by using the tanks data. This convenient method is
universally adapted as the most efficient and reliable way
of measuring the tank volume, when reaching large
amount.
i. Cargo Hold Cleanliness

Maritime fields offer the capability to perform the following
services.
a. Tally & Condition
To check accurately the quantity of the cargo by way of
counting every sling or truck or whatever movement of the
goods whether during loading, unloading, or transfer from one
place to another. In the same time, condition of the cargo
or bag or package is inspected, to ascertain whether
there is any damage or quality discrepancy.
b. Container Inspection
Inspection for ascertaining the physical condition of the
container. They may be packed badly at some inland depot.
Theft may occur long before, or long after the sea passage.
And damage my be due to a damaged container, but
the surveyor may well not be called in until after the goods
are out of the box and the box is on its way somewhere else.
c. Inspection for Cargo Quantity and it's Condition during Stuffing
