Steel is a high-value cargo, a cargo easily damaged by rough handling, water and moisture.

Its weight presents substantial challenges with stowage and securing. Incorrect stowage can lead to hull and cargo damage.

Damage can occur during bad weather, when hatch covers leak, when cargo moves or when incorrect ventilation procedures are followed.

Damage can also occur before loading while the cargo is in storage or in transit from the mill to the ship.

Our experienced surveyors monitor the entire operation of preloading to check the condition of finished steel before loading to ensure that bills of lading are correctly endorsed with full details of any such damage.

Tank cleaning is a highly specialist line of business that requires broad know-how of both tankers and cleaning products, as well as of the products/substances that are shipped in the tanker.

In the shipping trade, time is an all-decisive and costly factor.

Tankers need to be cleaned as quickly and efficiently as possible.

The cleaning procedure in itself must also take up as little time as possible.

Our supervisors backed with long years of experience in the oil and chemical trade on board vessels can help guide ship owners and ship staff/shore contractors to achieve effective results in preparing vessel tanks for their next charter.

SMV Maritime have consultants with extensive experience from the shipping industry, mainly from the Oil, Chemical & Gas tankers and Bulk Carriers and can assist Shipping Companies in areas such as (not limited to):

  • • Implement Risk Assessment Systems
  • • Perform Incident Investigations and Root Cause Analysis
  • • Perform Navigational Audits
  • • Company specific demands

We understand the importance of On-Hire / Off-Hire condition surveys for a client when chartering a vessel and we ensure that the correct information on the condition of the vessel and work required in respect of the Charter Party is presented to the client to limit their liability on completion of the charter.

Hence it is in the interest of a Client to get an independent survey carried out on their behalf which will then be used as evidence for their liabilities for the Charter period.

Our survey report will include a detailed description of a vessel’s cargo spaces/deck areas structural condition, cargo space cleanliness, bunkers on board, listing of the vessel’s statutory certificates, portable securing equipment, etc.
