- Sampling of fuel stemmed and subsequent testing for density, viscosity and water content by means of a certified laboratory.
- Detailed bunker survey reports confirming fuel delivery or reporting shortage.
- Sampling documentation photographs as requested or permitted.
Our inspector will advise if any shortage of quantity, also issue Letter of protest
Inspection Report will be issued after the completion of operation stating the way the bunkering was carried out, as well as, the survey findings.
THE 221B SURVEY
The 221B Survey, also known by Bunker Spot Survey, is the measurement of vessel’s bunkering figures at the time of the Survey.
