When entering a time charter agreement, ensuring transparency in the vessel’s condition and fuel inventory is critical. This is where On-Hire Bunker Surveys and Vessel Condition Surveys play a crucial role.
Why are these surveys important?
🔹 Accurate Bunker Assessment: Determines the exact amount of fuel onboard at delivery, avoiding disputes at redelivery.
🔹 Vessel Condition Documentation: Records any pre-existing damages, ensuring charterers are not held responsible for prior issues.
🔹 Operational Readiness Check: Confirms the vessel meets required standards for a smooth voyage.
🔹 Cost and Liability Protection: Prevents unexpected costs and potential conflicts between owners and charterers.
By conducting thorough surveys before the charter period begins, charterers can safeguard their interests, ensure compliance, and maintain smooth operations.
