We are able to give accurate quality and quantity determination, as well as the local and international industry knowledge necessary to encourage successful commerce, thanks to our broad expertise of cutting-edge laboratories and expert inspectors and technicians.
Draft Survey
The weight of any materials being loaded onto (or released from) a vessel can be ascertained via a draft survey. The skilled and knowledgeable personnel at EGCO can conduct a draft survey on your behalf and generate an impartial draft survey report.
Our draft surveyors feed the raw data from their readings into EGCO’s unique draft survey software. This program calculates the weight loaded (or discharged) using the internationally standardized draft survey protocol. We then compile the resulting findings into a draft survey report containing all of the details obtained during the survey. You can use this report as the basis for quantity certification of the cargo.
Loading, Discharging, Supervision & Inspection

Whether you are shipping a consignment of oil, gas, petrochemical, grains or general cargo, EGCO can help safeguard your interests by providing independent inspection and testing services during loading or discharge.
Cleanliness Inspection of Vessels
An inspection of the ship’s cargo holds or ship tanks will be carried out by one of EGCO’s skilled and experienced inspectors to ascertain whether they are in a condition to accept the intended cargo.
The EGCO’s cleanliness supervision services include a precise report of the state of a vessel’s holds, tanks, and, if applicable, the quality of its coating. The adequacy of cleaning techniques, the existence of residues, foreign odours, and any infestation will all be evaluated by EGCO based on past shipments.

Sealing of holds
For many different types of cargo, it is important that water is prevented from reaching the cargo, additionally, it may be a requirement that the air circulation around the cargo is kept to a minimum. As such, it is a common practice to close the ship’s watertight cargo holds, manholes, and ventilation hatches for the duration of the voyage.
As a means of verifying if the cargo hold has, for some reason, been opened during the course of a voyage, we seal/unseal cargo holds/hatches and all entrances with a tamper-proof, single-use seal before issuing a sealing/unsealing certificate.

MEASUREMENT OF WEIGHT SUPERVISION Calculating the consignment weight
To determine the weight of a vessel before and after loading, EGCO conducts draft surveys. Our surveyors can weigh individual cargo as it is loaded or emptied with the help of intermediate surveys that can be carried out during loading into various holds.
Similar to this, a weighbridge and a daily draft survey are used to estimate weight if the material is transported by trucks.
Our knowledgeable surveyors supervise and maintain weighing methods to guarantee that amounts are precise and that product value is realized.
