Bunker Quantity Survey
NSM provides independent measurement and reporting of bunker fuel delivery. We ensure the quantity received matches the bunker delivery note (BDN), protecting you against short-delivery and "cappuccino" effects.

Bunker Detective / ROB Survey
A specialized "investigative" survey to uncover undeclared or "hidden" fuel. We provide an accurate inventory of all Remain On Board (ROB) fuel oils and lubricants.

On / Off Hire Bunker Survey
Precise determination of fuel and lubes at the exact moment of a vessel’s delivery or redelivery. We ensure a fair financial transition between Owner and Charterer.

Holds Condition Survey
Verification that cargo holds are clean, dry, and fit to receive your specific cargo. Essential for preventing contamination claims and "failed hold" delays.

Loading / Discharging Survey
Continuous monitoring of cargo operations to ensure safe handling, proper stowage, and to document any damage occurring during the process.

Provide a Solution
Professional sampling of liquid or dry bulk cargoes. We ensure representative samples are taken, sealed, and stored for laboratory analysis or evidence.

Full Condition Survey
An in-depth evaluation of a vessel’s structural and technical condition. Ideal for Pre-Purchase, insurance requirements, or fleet management audits.

Draft Survey
We finish strong with thorough inspections, final touches, and a complete walkthrough. You get a finished project that meets our highest standards — and yours.
