Ensure contractual compliance on cargo quantity with QSS’s trusted draft survey solutions.
Incorrect determination of agricultural commodity cargo quantities can result in contractual disputes and incorrect declared figures. Draft surveys measure quantity by calculating the difference in a vessel’s displacement before and after loading or unloading — while accounting for factors such as water density, ballast and onboard consumables.
QSS provides comprehensive draft survey solutions at most major agricultural commodity ports worldwide. Working strictly in accordance with internationally accepted guidelines, our experienced surveyors take into account all operational and environmental variables that may affect accuracy. Utilizing our patented draft-reading measurement technology (QSS Draft Survey Tool) along with standardized software for calculation, we deliver reliable, globally recognized reports certifying the quantity of cargo loaded or discharged.
Draft survey & marine services sit within QSS’s broad portfolio of inspection solutions, designed to ensure that your agricultural commodities reach their destination safely, efficiently, and in optimal condition.
To minimize quantity discrepancies and enhance accuracy, we have developed and patented a unique system for draft measurement — the QSS Draft Survey Tool.
Streamline the delivery of official inspection documentation with QSS’s secure digital certification services.
Once our inspection is completed, we generate a digitized certificate and email it directly to all relevant stakeholders worldwide. Accepted by trade partners, banks, and financial institutions across the globe, our e-certificates are fully compliant with the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits for Electronic Presentation.
For added security and transparency, our online platform enables you to verify the authenticity of your e-certificates and maintain a full archive of all documents issued.
