Draft inspection is the service to determine the weight of goods or materials loaded or unloaded from a vessel. With the absolute strength of professionalism and experience since 2007 in the maritime field, VICI's experts are ready to provide you with the most accurate answer on cargo in all weather conditions.
Weight measurement by means of a draft technique is based on the principle of determining the change of water stretch before and after loading or unloading of a vessel to calculate the mass of the cargo.
The job is performed by reading the initial draft and final draft at the six standard points on the hull: forward, midships and aft on both port and starboard side. Adjustment is made for the water density, weight of ballast, fuel oil, fresh water, etc on board and the specific measurement of the vessel in order to calculate the weight of the cargo.
In many cases, ships mooring for loading and unloading, unloading cargo in the high seas, and rising waves with large amplitude make it important to cut the bow in the right time to determine the accuracy of the measurement. With 15 years’ experience in maritime inspection, VICI's specialists help you navigate your ocean freight transactions, manage your cargo volumes, minimize risk and dispute.
In addition to the inspection of the draft for large vessels, VICI is ready to meet the requirements of quantity control for small and medium maritime transport vehicles such as boats, rafts, barges and many other solutions. This brings confidence to each of your transactions.
