Bunker pre-tests will eliminate fuel quality surprises and ensure that the fuel quality is in compliance with the specifications. They also allow the vessel to use the fuel immediately, which is especially needed if they do not have other fuel on-board.
At the request of our client, we will arrange with the agent/supplier to have our surveyor board the barge and take representative samples from the barge tanks. These samples will be tested in our local laboratory and analysis will be reported to our client before the barge starts discharge to the vessel.
