What Is a Bunker Survey?

A Bunker Survey also known as a Bunker Quantity Survey (BQS) or Bunker Delivery Survey is a technical inspection performed before, during, and after the fuel transfer process. Its main objectives are:

  • Verify the actual quantity of fuel delivered by the barge and received by the vessel.
  • Identify discrepancies between declared and measured volumes.
  • Collect representative fuel samples for quality analysis.
  • Issue certified reports to support the transaction and resolve any disputes.
