Our Services
A focused set of marine survey and technical consultancy services, led by Bunker Survey.
Marine Survey
General technical survey covering a vessel's condition, equipment, and operational status, giving owners and managers an independent reference point.
View Service →Condition Survey
Assessment of a vessel's current physical and technical condition, commonly used for insurance, finance, or fleet management purposes.
View Service →Pre-Purchase Inspection
Independent technical review of a vessel ahead of sale or acquisition, giving buyers a clear picture of condition and risk before commitment.
View Service →Engine Room Defective Survey
For a specific engine room defect or issue already identified aboard — this survey investigates probable cause and implications, rather than reviewing overall condition.
View Service →Ship Repair Supervision
On-site technical oversight of repair or retrofit work, monitoring scope, progress, and quality against specification.
View Service →Technical Inspection
For a defined technical question about one system, area, or piece of equipment on a vessel — not engine-room-specific — addressed through a focused inspection.
View Service →Marine Technical Consultancy
Independent technical advice on vessel condition, operations, or project matters.
