Marine surveying is crucial in ensuring the safety and efficiency of maritime operations. It involves the inspection and assessment of ships, cargoes, bunkers, and drafts to identify any potential risks or damages. Cargo surveying is essential for verifying the quantity, condition, and quality of goods being transported. Bunker surveys play a vital role in determining the quantity and quality of fuel on board a vessel. Draft surveys are conducted to measure the depth of a ship's hull in the water, which is crucial for determining its stability and load capacity. Protective surveys are conducted to provide owners and charterers with assurance that their assets are being safeguarded. These surveys help to mitigate risks, prevent accidents, and ensure compliance with international standards and regulations.
