INDEPENDENT BUNKER SUPPLY ATTENDANCE
Bunker Supply Surveys
Independent attendance before, during and after bunker delivery, documenting the operation and the quantities received.
A bunker supply survey provides an independent record of the delivery operation and the quantities supplied to the vessel.
IMI’s experienced surveyors attend the vessel with a clear understanding of bunker procedures, tank arrangements and the practical conditions surrounding the delivery.
The scope is agreed in advance and adapted to the vessel, port, supplier, delivery method and operational circumstances.
INDEPENDENT DELIVERY RECORD
Objective verification during bunker delivery
Bunker deliveries can involve several parties, documents, measurements and operational stages. An independent survey provides the client with a reliable record of what took place and the quantities received.
Our surveyors monitor the relevant stages of the operation, review the available documentation and record any material observation that may affect the client’s commercial or operational position.
Where figures, procedures or physical conditions require further attention, the matter is documented clearly and brought to the client’s notice.
Before Delivery
Review of the available bunker instructions, vessel information, tank arrangements and expected delivery procedure before the operation begins.
During Delivery
Attendance during the relevant stages of the supply, with observation of measurements, sampling arrangements, documentation and operational conditions.
After Delivery
Independent recording of the final quantities received, relevant documents and any observations requiring consideration by the client.

EXPERIENCED ATTENDANCE
Prepared for the practical realities of supply operations
Our surveyors understand that bunker deliveries do not always follow a predictable schedule. Delays, changes in delivery arrangements, restricted access and operational interruptions may affect the attendance and the survey scope.
IMI coordinates the attendance according to the vessel’s schedule and remains focused on producing a clear and useful record for the client.
OUR APPROACH
