Crane Load Testing
At Orchid Marine International (OMI), we provide professional crane load testing services to ensure the safety, reliability, and compliance of shipboard cranes, derricks, and other lifting appliances. Using MMD-approved water bags, calibrated load cells, and test weights, our team verifies that each crane can safely lift its rated Safe Working Load (SWL) under real operating conditions. Our tests are conducted in accordance with SOLAS, IMO, and Mercantile Marine Department (MMD) requirements, ensuring full compliance with international maritime standards. Each load test includes a pre-test inspection, controlled load application, and detailed post-test evaluation to identify any abnormalities.
Bollar Pull Test
At Orchid Marine International (OMI), we conduct MMD-approved bollard pull tests to accurately measure tug and workboat towing power. Our certified reports help shipowners and operators meet charter requirements, verify performance, and stay compliant with IMO and MMD standards. Tests are carried out safely with calibrated load cells and real-time monitoring for reliable results. This ensures your vessel is always ready for critical towing operations with full confidence.
Derrick Load Test
OMI offers professional derrick load testing services to guarantee that your ship’s derricks and lifting systems operate safely and within their rated capacity. Our MMD-approved testing procedure includes pre-inspection, controlled loading, and post-test evaluation to identify any issues before they cause costly downtime. Upon completion, we issue an MMD-approved test certificate and full documentation, keeping your vessel compliant with international regulations and ready for cargo operations.
Vessel Draft Survey
At Orchid Marine International (OMI), we provide professional vessel survey services, including draft surveys, bunker surveys, and on/off hire surveys, to ensure accurate cargo measurement, fuel accountability, and vessel condition verification. Approved by the Mercantile Marine Department (MMD), our surveys are conducted with precision, transparency, and compliance with international maritime standards. A draft survey calculates cargo weight by measuring a vessel’s displacement before and after loading or unloading, while a bunker survey determines the exact quantity of fuel on board, and an on/off hire survey records the vessel’s condition during charter periods. Our certified marine surveyors provide detailed reports and documentation, helping shipowners, charterers, and port authorities maintain operational efficiency, prevent disputes, and comply with IMO, port, and insurance requirements.
A bunker survey is a method of determining the quantity of fuel oil (bunkers) on board a vessel before and after delivery. It is widely used in the shipping industry to ensure accurate fuel accountability, prevent disputes between suppliers and shipowners, and verify compliance with charter party agreements.
Bunker Survey
On/Off Hire Survey
An On/Off Hire Survey is an inspection carried out at the time a vessel is delivered to or redelivered from a charter. The survey records the vessel’s condition, cargo holds, tanks, and bunkers to determine responsibilities between the shipowner and charterer. It helps ensure transparency, prevent disputes, and establish accountability for any damage, repairs, or fuel consumption during the charter period.
