Fuel represents over 60% of a vessel’s voyage operating costs. V-Marine provides rigorous, independent Bunker Quantity Surveys across West African anchorages and bunkering berths. Our surveyors measure bunker barge and receiving vessel tanks before and after delivery, calculate standard mass using ASTM Petroleum Measurement Tables, and take representative drip samples to prevent commercial shortfalls.
Manual sounding, ullage measurements, water bottom cuts using water finding paste.
Standard hydrometer temperature checks and laboratory density cross-verification @ 15°C.
Witnessing continuous manifold drip sampling and sealing 4 representative bottles (MARPOL, Owner, Barge, Commercial).
Detecting micro-bubble air injection in bunker lines designed to distort volumetric flow meters.
Ensure exact fuel quantities delivered matches billing and bunker delivery notes (BDN).
Prevent bunker supplier fraud, short deliveries, and contaminated high-sulfur fuel.
Gauging all fuel oil and diesel oil tanks on both supplying barge and receiving ship before transfer.
Monitoring delivery rates, line pressure, and sampling procedures throughout the operation.
Re-measuring all tanks and calculating mass delivered using ASTM Tables 54B and 56.
Pre-fills all parameters in our multi-step requisition system for swift surveyor mobilisation.
