Marine surveyors and divers at 38 African ports
Draught and bunker surveys, cargo hold cleaning, underwater hull work and port services, carried out by our own teams from Nouakchott to Mombasa.
What we do
15 services, carried out by our own teams at 38 African ports.
Cargo Hold Cleaning
Holds cleaned, dried and presented to the grade your next fixture requires, with our own teams at the berth.
Underwater Hull Cleaning
Diver-operated hull cleaning and propeller polishing in water, with video record, without taking the vessel off her schedule.
On/Off Hire Bunker and Condition Survey
Independent bunker quantity and vessel condition at delivery and redelivery, so the charter party position is documented before it is disputed.
Draught Surveys
Independent determination of cargo weight loaded or discharged, calculated from the vessel's own displacement.
Bunker Survey
Bunker quantity established independently at delivery, on hire, off hire and ROB, with sampling and temperature correction.
Our teams, our photographs
Every photograph below comes from an actual MSA attendance. We do not subcontract the presence at the berth, and that is the one thing a broker cannot buy from a stock library.
Where we work
Thirty-eight ports across West, Central, East and Southern Africa. Our teams travel with their own equipment, which is usually what decides whether a vessel sails on time.
