Draft Survey is the most widely used method to determine, independently, the quantity of bulk or break-bulk cargo loaded or discharged from a vessel — based on the vessel's change in draft, displacement and deadweight, rather than shore-side figures alone.
MCI's surveyors perform draft readings and displacement calculations following recognized industry practice, giving shipowners, charterers and cargo interests a figure that can be relied on for invoicing, laytime and cargo-claim purposes across all Colombian ports.
