Condition of the vessel.
Some areas under consideration:
Ballast tanks / double bottom structure is prone to:
-material wastage (general corrosion, grooving corrosion, pitting corrosion)
-deformations (due to material defects, fatigue, incorrect loading and unloading, groundings, collisions)
-fractures (due to material defects, welding defects, wrong repair/welding procedures, excessive corrosion)
Ultrasonic thickness measurements from the previous dry-docking is very important part of documentation
that should be available to the surveyor.
Bottom:
Bottom survey can be done in dry-dock or afloat (in-water bottom survey).
Bottom survey includes inspection of rudder, propeller, visible part of shaft, sea chests and strainers.
Rudder and propeller shaft clearances will be measured, if requested by principals.
Very often prepurchase surveys of vessels carried out afloat.
Thickness measurements
If requested, we can support the pre-purchase survey with ultrasonic thickness mesurements of the vessel’s
structure. We use SONOWALL 70 /IP 67/ (Manufacture Sonotec, 06112 Halle, Germany).
Classification Societies involved in the vessel’s sale process
Once the SALEFORM is amended and agreed between the buyer and seller, it becomes the MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
(MOA).
The seller requests from his Classification Society a CONFIRMATION OF CLASS.
From this document, received from the seller, the buyer can learn if the vessel has any class recommendations (condition of class)
and/or statutory deficiencies.
The CONFIRMATION OF CLASS may be issued only for the seller, because the seller is the owner of the vessel, in an instant
classified by a present Classification Society.
To issue the CONFIRMATION OF CLASS – no any on-site surveys are required. Although bottom inspection only, by the class
surveyor is often agreed in MOA.
The seller and buyer have of course different interests in the CONFIRMATION OF CLASS.
The seller needs the CONFIRMATION OF CLASS, while the buyer needs a GUARANTEE that the vessel is without any damage
and can be used for purposes expected.
Commercial survey/consultancy companies involved in the pre-purchase condition survey.
There is no any requirements in the involvement of any classification society and class surveyor in the vessel’s pre-purchase
process, as the function of a classification society is periodical, occasional surveys for classification purposes and statutory
inspections on behalf of flag states. Of course with the corresponding reporting system.
Sometimes buyers acquire vessels without any vessel’s inspections and take risks to lose a lot of time and money.

ULTRASONIC TIGHTNESS TEST OF HATCH COVERS
For testing the weather and water tightness of cargo hatch covers we use CYGNUS HATCH SURE ultrasonic tightness tester.
The CYGNUS HATCH SURE ultrasonic tightness tester provides a fast and effective method of evaluating and testing the
weather-tightness and water-tightness of hatch covers and hatch coamings. This enables leaks, sealing defects or damaged seals
to be detected accurately and efficiently.
There are many advantages of using ultrasound for hatch cover inspection over other methods.

Valuation of vessels and other watercrafts is one of the most important industry issues, particularly when there is a reduced
level of buying and selling activity.Valuation of vessels is especially important, alongside the borrowings to assets ratio, for
calculating the value of property and pledging. Virtually all vessels in the world are built and bought using borrowed funds
and lenders are therefore very diligent in their approach to valuation of pledged vessels and the pledgor's total property in
order to ensure their financial security. The procedure used to value sea and inland vessels is complex and requires the client
to provide an extensive pack of documents for a more accurate valuation.
Three main approaches are used to prepare a market valuation of sea vessels
Cost-based approach
With this approach the appraiser calculates all costs incurred by the owner in buying or building the vessel. The calculation
also includes repair, paint and modification costs. Once this information has been analysed, the appraiser moves on to the
next approach.
Comparative approach
This process involves an analysis of information about sales of comparable vessels. An assumption of this method is that a
reasonable buyer is unlikely to pay more for an asset than the price at which assets of comparable utility are sold on the
market. This method is based on collecting information about the sale prices of comparable vessels, analysing the
differences between the vessel being valued and such vessels and adjusting these prices on the basis of any such differences.
Revenue-based approach
In this approach, the appraiser looks at the vessel as an object capable of generating revenues for the owner. This involves
discounting of cash flows and calculation of the amount that may be obtained over a certain period of time.
After using all available approaches, the appraiser evaluates all the data obtained and uses it to prepare a final report
stating the final value.
Circumstances where a market valuation of a sea vessel is required most often are detailed below
For a transaction to buy/sell a sea vessel
Market valuation is not an absolute requirement in this scenario but it is highly recommended to owners, because it can be extremely useful.
First of all, with an expert conclusion it is much easier to set the right price and avoid losing out. In addition, buyers usually take note of
whether an expert valued the vessel. A professional assessment gives buyers comfort that the transaction is honest and fair. It is important to
keep in mind that whatever the appraiser's view, the final decision regarding the price is always taken by the seller.
When taking out insurance for a sea vessel
Unlike with a transaction buy and sell a vessel, in this case a market valuation is required. This is because insurance companies have to
calculate the client's monthly premiums and insurance compensation paid on the occurrence of an insured event, which is virtually
impossible without knowing the market value of the asset.
If a sea vessel is used as security
A market valuation is also required in this instance. Without a market valuation, the bank will not be able to determine the size of loan it can
issue to a client.
Our experts have extensive practical experience of vessel valuation.
Valuation of vessels /watercrafts/ is conducted in accordance with procedures set by effective international law on
the basis of contracts with clients. This work is formalised by a vessel/watercraft value report of full legal effect
for transaction participants and report users.
Our company offers an Express Valuation service. This service produces an advisory report regarding the
potential market value of the appraised asset.
The report includes a description of the asset, a brief calculation of its value prepared using the comparative or
revenue-based approach, i.e. the range of market values of the asset which can vary by +/- 15%.
The price of the Express Valuation service is usually 35-50% of the full valuation price.

Vetting inspection is a risk assessment process to avoid employment of
substandard vessels.
Interested parties are charterers and terminal operators.
Chemical industry companies can either carry out the vetting inspections
themselves or let it done by third parties companies.
Every shipping company operating oil/chemical tankers has their own safety
standards to keep their vessels in a state of operational readiness, compliance
with international regulations, industry guidance and best practice meeting
customer requirements.
For our clients we offer to carry out pre-vetting inspections and condition
inspections of their vessels to avoid “nonconformities”, “deficiencies”,
“conditions of class”, Port State Control detentions.

At first and last ports, the parties shall each appoint a representative (Surveyor, Master or Superintendent) for the purpose of determining and agreeing in writing the
condition of the Vessel at the times of delivery and re-delivery. Time actually lost in delivery survey shall be for the Charterers' account and in the re-delivery survey
for the Owners' account.
Provided that it can be accomplished at ports of call, without hindrance to the working or operation of or delay to the Vessel, and subject to prior consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, the Owners shall allow the Charterers to bunker for their account prior to delivery and the Charterers shall allow the Owners to bunker
for their account prior to redelivery. If consent is given, the party ordering the bunkering shall indemnify the other party for any delays, losses, costs and expenses arising
therefrom.
(1) The Charterers shall supply bunkers of a quality suitable for burning in the Vessel's engines and auxiliaries and which conform to the specification(s) mutually
agreed under this Charter.
(2) At the time of delivery of the Vessel the Owners shall place at the disposal of the Charterers, the bunker delivery note(s)
and any samples relating to the fuels existing on board.
(3) During the currency of the Charter the Charterers shall ensure that bunker delivery notes are presented to the Vessel on the
delivery of fuel(s) and that during bunkering representative samples of the fuel(s) supplied shall be taken at the Vessel's bunkering manifold and sealed in the presence
of competent representatives of the Charterers and the Vessel.
(4) The fuel samples shall be retained by the Vessel for 90 (ninety) days after the date of delivery or for whatever period necessary in the case of a prior dispute and any
dispute as to whether the bunker fuels conform to the agreed specification(s) shall be settled by analysis of the sample(s) by (...) or by another mutually agreed fuels analyst
whose findings shall be conclusive evidence as to conformity or otherwise with the bunker fuels specification(s).
(5) The Owners reserve their right to make a claim against the Charterers for any damage to the main engines or the auxiliaries caused by the use of unsuitable fuels
or fuels not complying with the agreed specification(s). Additionally, if bunker fuels supplied do not conform with the mutually agreed specification(s) or otherwise prove
unsuitable for burning in the ship's engines or auxiliaries the Owners shall not be held responsible for any reduction in the Vessel's speed performance and/or increased
bunker consumption nor for any time lost and any other consequences.
The on/off hire surveys are usually carried out afloat.
All accessible parts of the vessel should be surveyed. The parts that are subject to damage from
commercial operations should be thoroughly inspected. Deformations, broken or missing items
should be described. The approximate size and location of the damaged items should be noted.
Preferably, pictures of all damaged items should be taked.

At the request of our customers we attend at the premises of manufacturers and/or at
loading/discharging terminals for preshipment surveys and/or loading/discharging supervision for
loss prevention purposes.
We offer clients our support to the vessel’s Master to clause mate’s receipts and bills of lading for
pre-shipment damage to the cargo.
… “Pipes
Considerable claims have been experienced in the carriage of pipes. They are usually shipped in
bundles except where the diameter is very large. In that case, they are usually presented for
shipment in single pieces. Special stowage is frequently called for, particularly in the case of
lighter pipes, where top stowage is preferred. Where top stowage is preferred, pipes should be
stowed fore and aft in the hold. On occasions where pipes have been stowed some fore and aft
and some athwartship almost invariably one or other tier has become deformed owing to
the weight of the over stowing cargo.
These goods are most vulnerable at their ends, and where the ends are threaded then great care
should be taken to ensure that the threads are not nicked or otherwise damaged.” …
.....“Rust damage
Nowhere is the need to clause bills of lading greater than in the case of rust.
Without exception, whenever a consignment is rusty this should be stated in the bills of lading.
Cargo interests may well insist that the rust to be seen is normal or customary, or will not affect the value
of the cargo, or will be removed in any event by further processing, and therefore that the bill of lading can
be issued clean without any danger of prejudicing the interest of the carrier.
Representations of this type are to be ignored. The best way of protecting the carrier’s interests is to clause
the bill of lading.
If the rust is indeed normal or customary there should be no difficulty in the bills of lading negotiated
through the banks. The master’s job is not to concern himself with the marketability of the cargoes that the
carries, he should simply describe the condition of the cargo as he sees it.
Further, when clausing bills of lading against rust, it is essential not to qualify the word rusty in any way by
using words such as “atmospherically” or “superficially” or “slightly”.
The reason for this is simply that rust which may appear on loading to be only slight, may have worsened
progressively during the voyage (without there being any fault on the part of the carrier in the care of the
cargo) to such an extent that the cargo is pitted or otherwise seriously affected on discharge. Commonsense
would tell us that the damage seem on outturn in this type of case is directly consequent on the damage
noted on loading, but it is not always so easy to persuade a court to see things in this way. If the damage on
outturn is more severe that the damage noted on loading a court may be tempted to attitude the
deterioration in the condition of the cargo not to the natural development of the rusting process but to some
alleged fault of the carrier in the care of the cargo.
One of the best ways therefore of minimising this danger is simply to describe cargo as “rusty”, “rusty
edge”, “rusty end”, “top sheets rusty”.

CODE OF UNIFORM STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES FOR
THE PERFORMANCE OF DRAUGHT SURVEYS OF COAL CARGOES
Section C:
Incorrect hydrostatic information or draught marks
Incorrect tank calibration
Mud and/or scale in ballast tanks
Bottom shell growth
Water disturbance
Variations in sea water density (the density can be affected by
chemicals insolution)
Vessel squat (tidal stream or fast flowing current /river/)
- Especially where underkeel clearance is small
- There appears to be no affect at currant speeds below 2.5 knots
Asymmetrical hull deflections
Solar bending (normally appears hogging)
Use of approximate methods for corrections
(it is better to use vessel’s correction tables)
FACTORS AFFECTING THE ACCURACY OF DRAUGHT SURVEYS
FROM OUR OWN OBSERVATIONS
Wrong calculation of ballast in full sounded ballast tanks by various trims
Wrong calculation of ballast in 0.00 sounded ballast tanks by various trims
Wrong interpolations, usually by software for draft survey calculations
Reading of quantity of ballast water using computer software in case of ballast tanks
without sounding pipes
Measuring of freeboard instead of taking drafts
-Inaccuracy appears mostly due to utilizing of not suitable measuring devices
Using of not calibrated areometers
Improper use of areometers
Calculating with wrong density of ballast water
In case a cargo hold (usually hold #4) filled with ballast water
Not considered water in drainage wells (if the wells filled with water)
Difference between declared and on board available bunkers, in case of bunker
operations in progress
