Draught Surveys

To determine the exact bulk cargo weight on a loaded or discharged ship.

Tanido applies the Archimedes principle to the calculation of displacement  in compliance with the vessel’s lines plan. For this calculation an advanced computer programme was designed in close collaboration with the Technical University in Delft. This program was approved and accepted by the major classification societies. Commissioned by one of the largest oil companies, we even performed draught surveys on VLCC crude tankers with our highly advanced devices. We achieved an accuracy of 0.1 %. This accomplishment has not yet been achieved by anybody else.

In addition to our accuracy, our approach allows us to work the vessels off faster. Our clients appreciates the fact that a huge bulk carrier can sail 15 minutes after  “completed discharging” or  “completed loading”.
