Are these independent measurements?
Yes. We act as an independent third party between the shipowner and the charterer.
Can the report be used to resolve a dispute?
Yes. It is the agreed-upon fuel quantity baseline; we provide it with a method and supporting documentation.
At which ports do you conduct bunker surveys?
Barranquilla, Santa Marta, and Cartagena, in the Colombian Caribbean corridor.
