A draft survey is a means of determining the weight of any materials being loaded into (or discharged from) a vessel. IDKU’s experienced and highly qualified professionals can conduct a draft survey on your behalf and produce an independent draft survey report.
The vessel draft survey measures the displacement of the water both before and after the loading or unloading, with the resulting difference between the two displacements representing the weight of the cargo. Our surveyors work according to defined international guidelines when determining the weight of the cargo and consider several key factors while making their surveys.

• Complex and accurate calculations

Our draft surveyors feed the raw data from their readings into IDKU’s unique draft survey software. This program calculates the weight loaded (or discharged) using the internationally standardized draft survey protocol. We then compile the resulting findings into a draft survey report containing all of the details obtained during the survey. You can use this report as the basis for quantity certification of the cargo.
