Draft Survey

At Starling Marine LLC, we offer comprehensive draft survey services to accurately determine the weight of cargo loaded or discharged from a vessel. Our experienced surveyors conduct thorough assessments of a vessel’s draft measurements, allowing for precise calculations of cargo quantities.

Draft surveys play a critical role in trade transactions, insurance claims, and vessel operations. Our dedicated team ensures that these surveys are performed meticulously, providing accurate and reliable information for all stakeholders involved.

Our approach

During a draft survey, our surveyors carefully measure the draft of a vessel before and after loading or unloading cargo. By comparing the two measurements, we can determine the weight of the cargo. Our surveyors use specialized tools, such as draft sensors and tape measures, to obtain precise draft readings. We also consider factors such as the vessel’s trim, list, and displacement to ensure accurate calculations.

Key Elements of Our
Our Draft Survey Services:

1. Initial Draft Measurement

Before cargo operations commence, our surveyors measure the vessel's draft at specific reference points, such as the bow, midship, and stern. These measurements establish a baseline for determining cargo weight.

2. Cargo Operations Monitoring

During loading or unloading, our surveyors closely monitor the vessel's draft changes, ensuring accurate calculations. We take into account the vessel's trim and any other factors that may affect the draft readings.

3. Final Draft Measurement

Once cargo operations are completed, our surveyors take final draft measurements at the same reference points used during the initial measurement. By comparing the initial and final draft readings, we calculate the weight of the cargo loaded or discharged.

4. Documentation and Reporting

Our surveyors meticulously record all draft measurements, observations, and calculations. We provide comprehensive reports that include accurate cargo weights, reference points, and any relevant remarks or observations.
