In addition to our team of experienced surveyors within the grain, seeds and dry bulk field the company has today a well trained group of inspectors, mainly ex ship’s officers, with extensive experience from the maritime field, international inspection companies and from cargo handling at all levels, from a wide range of ship types.

It is an international commercial custom that traded quantities of bulk cargo such as iron ore, coal, steel scrap, grain and some specific quantities of liquid cargoes are determined by draft survey. During a draft survey, cargo quantities are calculated based on the change of ship's drafts between different stages in the loading or discharging process by using the scales and hydrostatic property tables on board the ship. This convenient method is universally adopted as the most efficient and reliable way of measuring the cargo quantity where accurate product properties such as density and stowage factor are not reliable.

We use internationally recognized methods and modern equipment for measuring the necessary variables for an accurate outcome. Our draft survey methods are in accordance with the UN standards layed out in ECE/ENERGY/19. We specialize in managing survey activities for Ports of Chittagong & Mongla. We have expertise in managing complete survey's at Kutubdia, Chittagong outer anchorage, At any berth in Chittagong port & In Mongla port.
