Protective Surveyor Services

Sounding pipes and hold ballast lines inspected before cargo loading

We provide independent inspections of cargo tanks prior to loading, acting as Protecting Surveyors to safeguard your commercial interests. Our team verifies the cleanliness, structural condition, and readiness of tanks to prevent delays, rejections, or claims — especially critical when loading sensitive cargoes such as vegetable oils, clean petroleum products, or chemicals.

Our service includes:

  • Visual inspection for cleanliness and coating condition

  • Check for previous cargo residues, sludge, or water

  • Odor detection and ventilation status

  • Verification of structural integrity and safety compliance

  • Assessment based on charter party, FOSFA, or terminal requirements

We ensure the vessel is fit to load — giving you peace of mind and reducing operational risk.
