On & Off hire bunker and condition surveys
At JM Marine Surveys, we offer complete On & Off-Hire Bunker and Condition Surveys. These surveys protect the interests of shipowners, charterers, and operators during vessel delivery and redelivery.
Whether you are entering or concluding a charter agreement, our surveys offer an objective, detailed assessment of the vessel’s condition and onboard bunker quantities at the time of hire or redelivery. This helps prevent disputes, ensures fair settlements, and provides a clear record of responsibilities.
