A draft survey is a proven method used to determine the weight of bulk cargo loaded or discharged by measuring the vessel’s draft changes. It is widely used for commodities such as coal, grain, ore and fertilizers, where accurate tonnage is essential.
Why Is Draft Survey Important?
Even small weighing inaccuracies in bulk shipments can cause significant financial disputes. Draft surveys calculate the true cargo quantity by evaluating draft readings, trim, water density and vessel hydrostatic data, ensuring reliable results accepted by all parties.
