Marine & Logistics
Safe maritime and land logistics are built on uncompromising precision. We provide shipowners, charterers, logisticians, and insurers with a full range of technical inspections, vessel assessments, and cargo surveys, guaranteeing transparency and the minimization of operational risk.
AREA
Management Systems Inspections (ISM, ISPS, MLC)
Audits of vessel compliance with international safety conventions and crew rights.
What we do:
We verify the operational compliance of vessels with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, and the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC 2006).
Why it's important:
We help shipowners avoid vessel detentions by Port State Control and guarantee a safe working environment at sea.
Vessel Inspections
Comprehensive assessment of the technical and visual condition of the hull and engine room of floating units.
What we do:
We conduct detailed technical reviews of deck equipment, propulsion systems, and the overall condition of the vessel's wear and tear.
Why it's important:
This is a crucial tool for vessel purchase and sale transactions and for assessing insurance risk.
Technical Inspections
Independent verification of the technical efficiency of machinery, equipment, and industrial installations.
What we do:
We test and assess the technical condition of transshipment equipment, pipelines, and storage facilities in ports and inland terminals.
Why it's important:
We prevent industrial failures, ensure personnel safety, and protect infrastructure from costly downtime.
Coating Systems Inspections
Professional supervision of the condition of anti-corrosive and protective coatings on ships and marine structures.
What we do:
We assess the thickness, adhesion, and quality of paint coatings on hulls, ballast tanks, and steel structures.
Why it's important:
Corrosion is the greatest enemy of marine structures. Our inspections help extend the lifespan of vessels and significantly reduce their maintenance costs.
AREA
Cargo & Marine Warranty Inspections
Supervision over the safe transport of oversized, heavy, and high-value cargo.
What we do:
We verify stowage plans, strength calculations, and supervise the securing of cargo on ships and transport platforms.
Why it's important:
We minimize the risk of cargo damage or loss during sea transport, which is a necessary requirement for insurers in Project Cargo ventures.
Refrigerated Cargo Inspections
Supervision of the cold chain continuity for perishable goods.
What we do:
We monitor the temperature, humidity, and technical condition of refrigerated containers (reefers) before loading and during transport.
Why it's important:
We guarantee that fruits, vegetables, meat, and other temperature-sensitive products reach the recipient in a fresh state, protecting against claims for spoilage.
Area
Draft Survey
Precise determination of the weight of bulk cargo based on the vessel’s draft.
What we do:
We take accurate readings of the vessel's draft marks before and after loading/unloading, taking into account water density, fuel reserves, and ballast.
Why it's important:
This is a globally recognized method for independently determining the quantity of bulk goods loaded onto a ship.
Bunker Survey
Verification of the quantity and sampling of marine fuel (bunker) on a vessel.
What we do:
We measure the fuel level in the tanks before and after bunkering or at the time of the vessel's delivery or redelivery on charter (on/off hire), while also taking samples for laboratory analysis.
Why it's important:
We protect the financial interests of charterers and shipowners by preventing disputes over actual fuel consumption and quality.
Damage Survey
Independent expert assessment of damage to cargo or the vessel’s infrastructure.
What we do:
We conduct detailed inspections of damages, determine their cause, estimate the value of losses, and prepare a comprehensive photographic and descriptive report.
Why it's important:
Our reports serve as key evidence in compensation proceedings with insurance companies and courts.
Ullage Survey
Measurement of the quantity and volume of liquid cargoes in ship and shore tanks.
What we do:
We measure the empty space (ullage) above the liquid surface in the tanks, considering the cargo's temperature, which allows for a precise calculation of its tonnage.
Why it's important:
This is a crucial service for the transport and trade of crude oil, chemicals, and vegetable oils.
On & Off Hire Survey
Inspection of the vessel’s condition and fuel reserves at the beginning or end of a charter agreement.
What we do:
We meticulously document the technical condition of the deck, cargo holds, and the fuel level on the vessel at the time of its delivery to or return by the charterer.
Why it's important:
We prevent legal disputes between the shipowner and the charterer regarding any damage that may have occurred during the charter period.
Hatch Cover Tightness Testing (Ultrasonic)
Advanced, non-invasive verification of weathertightness for cargo holds and enclosures.
What we do:
We use a Type Approved / Lloyd's Register approved ultrasonic device (Cargo-Safe™) to detect millimeter-sized leaks in hatch cover seals, watertight doors, and other closures. The inspection is fast, can be performed on partially loaded holds, and provides a detailed report identifying the exact location and severity of any leaks.
Why it's important:
Water ingress from faulty seals can lead to catastrophic cargo damage, resulting in costly claims. Our ultrasonic testing provides an indisputable proof of due diligence for shipowners and P&I Clubs, preventing financial losses and ensuring the vessel is fit to carry its cargo safely.
Underwater Surveys (ROV Inspections)
Remote underwater inspections using Deep Trekker ROV technology.
What we do:
We perform underwater inspections of vessels, offshore structures, port facilities and marine infrastructure using advanced Deep Trekker ROV technology. Our remotely operated vehicles provide real-time visual assessments without the need for divers, allowing for safe, efficient and cost-effective inspections.
Why it's important:
ROV inspections help shipowners, operators and asset managers assess the condition of underwater structures, identify potential defects and make informed maintenance decisions. By reducing the need for diver intervention and minimizing downtime, these inspections improve operational safety, protect asset integrity and reduce inspection costs.
Area
Warehouse Inspections
Technical and hygienic assessment of warehouse spaces before cargo acceptance.
What we do:
We verify the cleanliness, dryness, tightness, and pest protection of warehouses, and also check the functionality of temperature and humidity control systems.
Why it's important:
We confirm that the warehouse is fully prepared for the safe storage of your goods, minimizing the risk of their contamination or spoilage.
Railcar and Container Inspections
Inspection of the technical condition and cleanliness of land transport means.
What we do:
We check the cleanliness of railcars and containers before loading, supervise the stowage process, and apply security seals after the work is completed.
Why it's important:
We protect cargo from moisture, odors, and contamination from previous transports, and prevent unauthorized access to the goods en route.
