On 22nd September 2025, the VM CONTROL survey team was appointed to carry out a Full Off Hire Bunker Survey onboard MV “GOLDEN SOUL” upon the vessel’s arrival at SP-PSA International Port.
This survey plays a crucial role in the shipping industry by:
🔹 Determining the exact quantity of bunkers remaining onboard at the time of vessel redelivery.
🔹 Safeguarding the interests of both shipowners and charterers under the charter party agreement.
🔹 Ensuring transparency, fairness, and reducing potential commercial disputes.
During the operation, our experienced surveyors worked closely with the port authority and vessel’s crew to:
✔️ Measure and sample all fuel tanks in accordance with international standards.
✔️ Prepare detailed survey reports and issue accurate bunker certificates on time.
✔️ Strictly comply with port safety, security, and environmental regulations.
With extensive expertise in Bunker Surveys – Off Hire / On Hire Surveys, VM CONTROL provides reliable and transparent results while supporting clients in minimizing risks related to fuel costs and contractual liabilities.
