Bunker Quantity Surveys (BQS)

With the ever increasing price of marine bunker fuel, ensuring that the quantity of fuel that is paid for is actually delivered to a vessel is becoming more and more important. To assist our clients with this we can offer bunker quantity surveys in all major bunker hubs and most other ports around the world.

A bunker quantity survey involves an approved surveyor taking measurements on board the delivery barge/shore tank and the receiving vessel before and after any transfer of oil takes place. The surveyor’s measurements are then used to determine the quantity of oil delivered. The quantity delivered from the barge/shore tank and received by the vessel should be the same. If there is any discrepancy, this can be highlighted and investigated at the time so that a claim can be made after the event.
