Welcome to Ostra Pandi Services, your trusted partner for all your draft survey needs in Ukrainian ports.

What is a draft survey? It’s an essential process for determining the quantity of cargo loaded onto a vessel, particularly for bulk cargoes. This service is vital for stakeholders such as shipowners, P&I clubs, insurance companies, traders, shippers, receivers, and more.

 

Our draft survey services in Ukraine consist of two main stages: measurements and calculations. Precision is paramount during measurements, conducted meticulously by our inspectors with the utmost accuracy possible under prevailing conditions.

 

The methodological backbone of our approach lies in Archimedes’ principle and the structure of the vessel. Ultimately, the weight of loaded or unloaded cargo is determined by the difference in displacement between the loaded and unloaded states of the vessel, accounting for variations in trim.

 

Conducting a Draft Survey in Ukraine

 

The primary objective of a draft survey is to ascertain the weight of cargo aboard the vessel. By measuring the draft, utilizing cargo documentation, calculating cargo volume, and considering water density, our surveyors accurately estimate cargo weight.

 

From this total, we deduct the weight of the vessel and other non-cargo weights onboard, yielding the net cargo weight. The time required for a draft survey depends on various factors including vessel size, ballast quantity, tank quantities, vessel condition, and more.

 

For larger vessels, we typically deploy a team of two specialists for the draft survey. If you require a surveyor to determine cargo quantities in Ukraine, do not hesitate to contact us using the details provided below.

 

While draft surveying in ports may be less precise compared to weighbridge methods, its advantage lies in its independence from port or elevator scales.

Our surveyors possess extensive experience in conducting draft surveys in diverse conditions. If you need to conduct a draft survey in Ukrainian ports, trust us for reliable and efficient service.
