CARGO WEIGHT CALCULATION

Draft Survey is the service used to calculate the weight of cargo on board a ship, usually solid, liquid or bulk cargo, based on variations in the vessel’s draft before and after loading.

It is the essential service in the shipping and logistics industry, ensuring accurate measurement of cargo on board a ship and playing a critical role in risk management and regulatory compliance.

STABILITY DURING LOADING AND UNLOADING

The values obtained during measurements are used to calculate the variation in the ship’s displacement and, consequently, the amount of cargo loaded or unloaded. The accuracy of the measurements is fundamental, since small errors can lead to inaccurate calculations of the amount of cargo, including corrections for factors such as the density of the water and the buoyancy of the ship.

It is important that the Draft Survey is conducted in accordance with internationally recognized standards and practices to guarantee the consistency and reliability of the results.
