Ship Condition
OI surveyors conduct thorough condition surveys wherein the vessel’s main and principal particulars are recorded. All ship certificates and details are recorded to confirm that the vessel has statutory valid certificates and other documents. Deck, machinery, hull, cargo handling gear, anchor winches, cargo compartments are all included.


The surveys are demonstrated by photographs and written description of the vessels condition. Typically this service is combined with bunker quantification and consumption calculations to form the basis of on hire/off hire survey.

On hire/off hire surveys
All HFO, MDO tanks are inspected, gauged and the contents quantified to ASTM/IP Standards. Consumption quantities are calculated to the appropriate delivery/redelivery time and position. Delivery/Redelivery certificates for the concerned parties are prepared and issued on board. The certificates are initially approved and then signed by Master, Chief Engineer and Surveyor.

Bunker Survey
All HFO, MDO tanks are inspected, gauged and the contents quantified to ASTM/IP Standards. OI surveyors perform comparative gauging of the delivery system to ensure that the difference in quantity delivered/received is within acceptable limits. Quantities delivered/received are calculated independently and the final documentation printed onboard for agreement and signature by all concerned parties.

Draft Survey
OI surveyor confirms the outturn quantity/bill of lading quantity by means of draft survey. Draft survey includes physical reading of draft, gauging and quantification of ballast water, determination of dock and ballast water density. Calculations are done by using vessel’s hydrostatic data by the surveyor. The final calculations are printed onboard and presented for signature by the concerned parties prior to departure.

Vessel Damage Survey
OI surveyors also carry out hull and machinery damage surveys in order to determine the nature, cause and extent of damage which are supported by photographs.Our surveyors also carry out pleasure yachts surveyors with regard to damages as well as for pre-risk assessment purposes.
