What Are The Responsibilities Of A Bunker Surveyor A bunker survey plays a critical role in preventing bunker delivery losses. In this survey, surveyors check the barge delivered quantity and received quantity in the vessel. The surveyors investigate the discrepancy if these two quantities are lower than 0.5% of the accepted quantity. Surveyors like bunker and marine cargo surveyors are also responsible for many tasks in a ship inspection. Following are those key responsibilities where the bunker surveyor have to: ● Perform a complete first measure of all the vessel's tanks and record the initial quantity of bunkers on board. ● Compare the real figures to the vessel's claimed values, and if there is a difference, re-gauges the ship's tanks. ● Conduct a complete initial measuring of all barge tanks and record the starting quantity of bunker fuel on the barge. ● Ensure that the sampling equipment is appropriately set up to collect bunker drip samples from the manifold when bunkering. ● Check that normal bunker transfer safety measures are followed. ● During bunkering, keep an eye on the ship's bunker tanks for any cappuccino bunkers or imprisoned air symptoms. ● Conduct a careful final measuring of all barge tanks and note the amount of bunker fuel left on the barge. ● After completion of bunkering, complete the final measuring of all the vessel's tanks and record the number of bunkers onboard. ● Determine the quantity delivered by the barge and the quantity received by the vessel.
