Vessel Inspections.
Pre-vetting
Our team of Master mariners and Chief engineers consists of well experienced personnel with expertise that spans across most vessel types from Liquid cargoes – Crude, products, chemicals and gas to bulk, containers and break-bulk and a passion to do an excellent job.
The process:
- Pre Vetting would consist of a 1-2 day visit to the vessel when she is at port.
- For a thorough inspection and in depth analysis we prefer that our inspector sails on board the vessel for a period of 7-10 days.
- A thorough pre-vetting inspection along the OCIMF VIQ guidelines.
- ISM Internal or 3rd party Audit.
- Assistance and guidance for corrective and preventive actions.
- The training involves company’s HSSEQ systems, bridge team management, safety drills
- Emergency drills in preparation for vetting inspection.
- Assistance and guidance to the ship staff during vetting inspections.
- Any other specific training required to be imparted by the client
Asset, Insurance & Commercial.
Pre-purchase
All our in-house inspectors are regularly trained and very well experienced in delivering high quality reports of the vessel condition.
Our inspection includes inspection of all accessible areas, including the following:
- Hull Condition
- Cargo equipment
- Deck equipment
- Accommodation areas
- Navigation equipment
- Machinery
- Deck and Machinery log books
P&I inspection
Marine insurers provide cover for known quantifiable risks, mainly Hull & Machinery insurance for shipowners, and Cargo Insurance for cargo owners. By contrast we provide broader insurance cover for indeterminate risks, such as third party liabilities that marine insurers are loath to cover.
Marine Safety & Handling.
Marine warranty survey
At Royal Marine, we provide a broad range of warranty surveys for a variety of straightforward and high value, high risk marine and offshore operations. From the towage of vessels from one side of the world to the other, the loading and towage of heavy container cranes, to loading of project cargoes and rig moves.

Some of the main highlights of our service includes high oil rebates, no barging fee and no additional charges/operational expenses.
Bunker Fuel Management
Bunker fuel is still the biggest part of a ship expenditure. Our Bunker Fuel Management Program addresses both, physical loss of bunkers and fuel consumption optimization for our clients’ overall efficiency.
Bunker Quantity & Quality Survey.
When buying fuel, you need to know that the ship receives the amount of fuel purchased and that this fuel is neither contaminated nor of a substandard quality that could adversely affect the ship’s fuel system, engine or environmental performance.
Royal marine is accredited by Singapore Accreditation Council. Our quality system is ISO certified. Our team of experienced in-house surveyors, Master Mariners and Chief Engineer have clients best interest at heart. We have a proven record of finding discrepancies for almost every bunker operation with zero cappuccino losses.
Our team specialize in:
- Bunker Quality Disputes
- Bunker Quantity Disputes
- VNET Calibration and Calculations
- Cappuccino
We provide a thorough service to our clients, from survey, negotiation, reporting, monthly savings analysis, to keeping abreast with current market trends, to ensure our clients interest are protected.
On/Off ROB Survey.
Since bunker is an expensive product, it is important to establish the exact quantity of onboard when the charter begins and again when it ends. At Royal Marine, our in-house surveyors physically gauge all tanks onboard, ensure correctness in his gauging (record tank reference heights and compare them with the calibration tables), physically check each tanks temperature and carefully apply the correction factors when calculating the quantity.
Charterers or Owners also often request for a Vessel Condition Survey at the time of On or Off hire ROB survey for recording the vessel’s condition at the commencement or end of the charter.
Bunker Detective Survey.
Our Detective Survey addresses both, physical loss of bunkers and fuel consumption optimization.
- Find undeclared hidden bunkers, identify tampering of sounding pipes, magiv pipes, & concearled spaces.
- Fuel efficiency analysis and optimization of vessel performance and efficiency.
Implementing programs that increase ship’s fuel efficiency and optimise vessel performance have become increasingly popular. Bunker fuel being the biggest part of their expense, shipping companies are investing large sums in systems that promise increased voyage returns.
From our analysis of data gathered over last years, we have seen that while increasing fuel efficiency is vital, its impact on the overall voyage return can be rather small unless efficient methods of curbing loss of fuel that is not actually consumed in the engines are implemented.
