Towage Survey Services

We regularly conduct Towage Surveys for Underwriters and other stakeholders, adhering to the IMO Guidelines for Safe Ocean Towage and AMSA Towage Assessment criteria.

Comprehensive Assessments

Our Towage Surveys include thorough assessments to ensure the suitability of both tug and tow:

• Internal Inspection: Examination of tow scantlings and framework.
• Towage Arrangements: Review of towage setup.
• Certification and Insurance: Verification of vessel certificates and current insurance.
• Stability and Endurance Calculations: Analysis of vessel stability and endurance.
• Passage Planning and Publications: Evaluation of voyage planning and relevant nautical publications.
• Medical Supplies and Crew Qualifications: Inspection of medical supplies and assessment of crew qualifications and experience.
• Emergency Procedures: Verification of emergency response procedures.

Cargo Securing Surveys

For vessels carrying cargo, we perform Securing Surveys to ensure compliance with the “Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing.” These surveys include:

• Barge Deck Loadings: Assessment of deck loadings.
• Sea Fastenings and Lashings: Evaluation of sea fastenings and lashings to ensure cargo security.

These surveys are typically required by Underwriters to ensure that cargo is safely secured for maritime transport.
