MCE Marine Surveyors B.V. – Independent. Accurate. Trusted.
Experts in Marine Fuel Quantity Verification
We specialize in bunker quantity surveys (BQS) for marine fuel oil, delivering accurate and impartial quantity measurements during bunkering operations. Every survey is conducted by qualified and experienced surveyors, trained to detect even the smallest inconsistencies that may result in short deliveries or disputes.
Before and after bunkering, our surveyors perform precise tank soundings on both the bunker barge and the receiving vessel, taking into account oil temperature, density, and tank calibration data. The difference in volumes measured before and after transfer reflects the actual quantity of fuel delivered, which we verify against the Bunker Delivery Note (BDN).
This service is crucial, particularly in today’s environment where short deliveries during bunker operations are becoming increasingly common. Our surveys help shipowners, operators, and charterers protect their interests and support any claims or disputes with solid documentation.
