Independent Verification Where Every Tonne Matters

At Worldwide Surveys SM LTD., we provide independent bunker quantity surveys and fuel verification to support shipowners, charterers and operators during bunker deliveries, redeliveries and other critical fuel-related operations.

Our surveyors independently verify onboard quantities, monitor the transfer process and document relevant measurements and operational observations, providing a clear factual record for reconciliation and commercial review.

Our Approach

1. Pre-Transfer Verification
We review available bunker documentation, vessel tank information and relevant operational details before commencement of the transfer.

2. Independent Tank Measurements
We verify bunker quantities through onboard tank measurements, including soundings or ullages where applicable, together with relevant temperature and vessel data.

3. Transfer Monitoring
Where required, we attend the bunker operation and monitor key stages of the transfer, recording relevant observations and measurement data.

4. ROB Verification
Remaining On Board quantities can be independently assessed to support delivery, redelivery and fuel-accountability requirements.

5. Quantity Reconciliation
Vessel measurements, supplier figures and available operational records are reviewed to identify and document material discrepancies requiring clarification.

6. Independent Reporting
We provide clear, factual survey documentation recording measurements, observations and relevant supporting evidence for operational and commercial reference.

Independent Condition Assessment Before You Commit

A vessel acquisition requires a clear understanding of the vessel’s condition before commercial commitment. Worldwide Surveys SM LTD. provides independent pre-purchase surveys to support owners, buyers and maritime stakeholders with factual, inspection-based information for their technical and commercial evaluation.

Our surveyors examine accessible areas of the vessel, review relevant documentation where available, and record material observations that may require further investigation, maintenance or repair.

Our Survey Approach

1. Scope & Inspection Planning
We establish the survey scope based on the vessel type, age, location, operational status and the client’s specific requirements.

2. Hull & Structural Condition
Accessible hull, deck and structural areas are visually examined for apparent deterioration, damage, corrosion and other relevant condition issues.

3. Machinery & Systems
Where accessible and within the agreed scope, we inspect main and auxiliary machinery, propulsion-related equipment and other operational systems.

4. Deck & Cargo Equipment
Relevant deck machinery, cargo-handling equipment, hatches and associated arrangements are examined as applicable to the vessel type.

5. Safety & Navigation Equipment
Available safety, lifesaving, firefighting and navigation equipment is reviewed within the agreed inspection scope.

6. Documentation Review
Relevant certificates, records and vessel documentation made available during the survey may be reviewed to identify matters requiring further technical consideration.

7. Independent Survey Reporting
We provide a structured report documenting observed condition, material findings and supporting photographic evidence where appropriate.

Pre-Purchase Survey Support

• General Vessel Condition Assessment
• Hull & Structural Inspection
• Machinery & Equipment Review
• Deck & Cargo Equipment Inspection
• Safety Equipment Review
• Available Documentation Review
• Photographic Condition Reporting

Why Clients Engage Us

Independent Records at Delivery and Redelivery

At Worldwide Surveys SM LTD., we provide independent On/Off Hire Bunker & Condition Surveys at vessel delivery and redelivery, supporting shipowners, charterers and operators with a clear factual record of bunker quantities and vessel condition at the relevant point of handover.

Our surveyors document onboard fuel quantities, accessible vessel condition and relevant operational observations to support charter-party reconciliation and reduce uncertainty between parties.

Our Survey Approach

1. Pre-Survey Coordination
We coordinate with the vessel, agents and relevant parties to arrange attendance in accordance with the required delivery or redelivery schedule.

2. Bunker Quantity Verification
We independently assess Remaining On Board (ROB) quantities through relevant tank measurements, including soundings or ullages where applicable, together with available temperature and vessel data.

3. Vessel Condition Inspection
Accessible areas of the vessel are inspected and their apparent condition recorded within the agreed survey scope, which may include:

• Hull exterior and visible structures
• Deck areas, cargo holds and hatches
• Cargo-handling equipment where applicable
• Accommodation and bridge areas
• Machinery spaces and accessible equipment

4. Damage & Deficiency Recording
Visible damage, deterioration or other material condition observations identified during attendance are documented with descriptions and photographic evidence where appropriate.

5. Documentation & Operational Records
Relevant vessel records, bunker information and available documentation may be reviewed where required by the agreed survey scope.

6. Independent Reporting
We provide a structured survey report recording bunker quantities, condition observations and relevant supporting evidence at the time of attendance.

Survey Support

• On/Hire Surveys – Independent records at commencement of hire
• Off/Hire Surveys – Condition and bunker records at completion of hire
• ROB Verification – Independent assessment of onboard fuel quantities
• Condition Surveys – Documentation of accessible vessel condition
• Delivery & Redelivery Support – Factual records for charter-party reconciliation

Why Clients Engage Us

✅ Independent Attendance – Objective third-party survey presence
✅ Bunker & Condition Documentation – Two critical handover elements recorded together
✅ Photographic Evidence – Supporting documentation of relevant condition observations
✅ Operational Coordination – Attendance arranged around vessel schedules and port operations

Clear records at the point where responsibility changes hands.

Bunker Transfer & Fuel Sampling Attendance

At Worldwide Surveys SM LTD., we provide independent attendance during bunker transfer operations, supporting shipowners, charterers and operators with documented operational oversight at critical stages of the bunkering process.

Where required, our surveyors witness the fuel sampling procedure, recording relevant observations concerning the sampling process and the handling of samples during attendance.

Our role is focused on independent observation and documentation of the sampling procedure, providing a clear factual record of the process witnessed during attendance.

Scope of Attendance

Bunker Transfer Attendance
Independent attendance during relevant stages of the bunker transfer operation.
