Our Services
On & Off hire bunker and condition surveys
At JM Marine Surveys, we provide comprehensive On and & Hire Bunker and Condition Surveys to reliably safeguard the interests of shipowners, charterers, and operators during the important stages of vessel delivery and redelivery.
Bunker Quantity
Survey
Fuel is a valuable commodity onboard vessels and often a cause of disputes. Our Bunker Quantity Surveys (BQS) offer independent, accurate verification of fuel quantities delivered or received during bunkering operations.
Bunker Detective / 221b Surveys
In marine fuel delivery, deception often hides in plain sight. Magic pipes, tampered gauges, falsified calibration tables, and hidden tanks are all signs of bunker fraud—posing serious financial risks to vessel owners and operators.
Draught Surveys / Draft surveys
At JM Marine Surveys, we conduct independent draught surveys with a focus on accuracy, clarity, and consistency. Backed by over 20 years of experience, our reports are trusted by major shipping companies, P&I clubs, and charterers.
Pre-loading and Out Turn Surveys
At JM Marine Surveys, we conduct Pre-Loading Surveys to inspect cargo condition, identify visible damages, and ensure secure stowage. Our reports help prevent disputes and protect stakeholders by documenting the cargo’s status before loading begins.
