Draft Survey

Draft surveys serve to ascertain the weight of bulk cargo, including iron ore, coal, steel scrap, grain, and specific quantities of liquid cargo, loaded onto or discharged from a vessel. Utilizing draft surveys proves to be a convenient and cost-effective method for determining cargo quantity aboard a ship. This involves reading the vessel’s drafts, measuring the ballast water, fuel, diesel oil, and other liquids on board, and calculating the final quantity using the vessel’s approved deadweight scales and tank tables. The difference between the weights of water displaced before and after cargo transfer equates to the weight of the cargo within measurement accuracy limits. Ideally, during the survey, the ship should remain upright with minimal trim, lying still in water, and with ballast tanks either full or empty. In practice, draft surveys are intricate procedures demanding a highly qualified draft surveyor. Our draft surveyors feed the raw data from their readings into KRM’s unique draft survey software. This programme calculates the weight loaded (or discharged) using the internationally standardized draft survey protocol. We then compile the resulting findings into a draft survey report containing all of the details obtained during the survey. You can use this report as the basis for quantity certification of the cargo.
