Condition and bunker surveys at charter delivery and redelivery — clear baselines for both parties.
When a vessel enters or leaves a time charter, both owner and charterer need an agreed record of condition and remaining bunkers. An on-hire survey at delivery and an off-hire survey at redelivery establish that baseline and reduce the scope for later disputes over damage or fuel.
YMR Marine combines condition inspection of holds, decks and relevant spaces with bunker ROB measurement in a single attendance when required.
Reports are written so commercial and operational teams can compare delivery and redelivery status side by side.
Surveys timed to charter commencement and termination at the agreed port.
Visible condition of cargo spaces, hatches and working decks relevant to the charter.
Remaining fuel quantities measured and reported with the condition findings.
Consistent format so on-hire and off-hire results can be compared easily.
Delivery/redelivery port, dates and whether bunkers and condition are both required.
Condition walk-through and bunker measurement as agreed.
ROB and key observations noted with ship’s staff where appropriate.
On-hire or off-hire report issued for both commercial parties.
On-hire and off-hire surveys are standard for time-charter delivery and redelivery, requested by owners, charterers and their commercial operators.
