Off/On-Hire Bunker and Condition Survey
On-Hire Bunker and Condition Survey
At GRM Marine, our On-Hire Bunker and Condition Survey is a critical service for charterers and owners entering into a charter agreement. This dual-purpose inspection establishes a clear and accurate record of both the vessel’s fuel quantities and its physical condition at the time of delivery — protecting all parties from future disputes.
Our expert surveyors begin with precise bunker measurement using calibrated equipment, verifying the quantities of fuel oil, diesel, and lubricants onboard in full compliance with the charter party terms. Equally important, we conduct a comprehensive condition survey of the vessel’s hull, cargo spaces, deck equipment, machinery, and navigation systems. We identify and document any pre-existing damages, deficiencies, or irregularities that could later be misattributed to the chartering party.
By setting a defensible baseline for both fuel and condition, GRM Marine ensures you enter the charter with full transparency and a strong layer of commercial protection. Our detailed, impartial reporting supports fair negotiations, limits liability exposure, and provides clarity from day one.
Off-Hire Bunker and Condition Survey
At GRM Marine, we combine technical accuracy with operational insight to deliver a thorough Off-Hire Bunker and Condition Survey — giving shipowners and charterers a complete picture of the vessel’s status at the end of a charter period.
This dual-purpose survey covers two critical elements: bunker quantity verification and vessel condition assessment. Our experienced surveyors meticulously measure and document all remaining fuel onboard — ensuring the reported quantities align precisely with charter party requirements. Simultaneously, we conduct a detailed inspection of the vessel’s structural and operational condition, including key areas such as cargo spaces, hull integrity, deck machinery, and navigational equipment.
With GRM Marine, you’re not just getting a report — you’re getting expert documentation that helps prevent disputes, supports fair cost settlements, and protects your commercial interests. We understand that redelivery can be sensitive, fast-moving, and high-stakes. That’s why our surveys are efficient, impartial, and supported by evidence-based reporting that stands up to scrutiny.
When accuracy, reliability, and professionalism are non-negotiable, GRM Marine delivers.
