MSA Group

We execute precise hydrostatic calculations before and after cargo operations to establish the exact weight of bulk shipments like coal, grain, and iron ore. By taking meticulous draft mark readings and adjusting for ballast, trim, and water density, we guarantee verifiable figures that safeguard you against weight-discrepancy losses.

Our independent surveyors measure fuel oil transfers via barge or shore pipe to safeguard your bunker purchases. We conduct tank soundings, verify fuel temperatures, and test density before and after delivery to ensure you receive the exact volume paid for and eliminate short-delivery disputes.

We deliver continuous physical counts and live monitoring during loading and discharge. Our team inspects packaging, logs damaged units on the spot, monitors handling practices, and verifies stowage to ensure your cargo counts match the manifests precisely.

Before your goods leave the factory floor, warehouse, or quay, we verify cargo condition, specifications, quantity, packaging, and labeling. We ensure full compliance with letters of credit and international regulatory standards to head off destination disputes.

We conduct accurate fuel tank soundings at the exact moment a vessel enters or exits a charter party. Our team delivers definitive fuel inventory reports that give owners and charterers complete clarity for seamless financial settlements.

We perform thorough physical examinations of decks, holds, hatch covers, and cargo equipment at charter onset and termination. We meticulously document existing wear, tear, or structural defects to shield you from unfair liability claims.

We provide deep-dive technical evaluations for prospective ship buyers and financial institutions. Our inspectors evaluate hull condition, machinery health, class records, and maintenance history to give you a clear assessment of market value and upcoming capital requirements.

We assess the operational condition and structural integrity of a vessel’s hull, main propulsion, auxiliary equipment, and electrical systems. Whether for routine insurance profiling or incident evaluations, we provide actionable technical clarity.

We test and evaluate shipboard cargo gear, derricks, and deck cranes. Through structural checks, safety interlock tests, and load testing reviews, we identify mechanical risks before they lead to costly operational failures or port delays.

We deploy master mariners and experienced supercargoes to represent your interests on the ground. We manage stowage planning, stability calculations, port authority coordination, and stevedore operations to minimize turnarounds and maximize port efficiency.

We deliver specialized oversight for out-of-gauge, heavy, or sensitive project assets like turbines and modules. Our team reviews transport engineering plans, verifies floor-load limits, calculates sea-fastening and lashing requirements, and supervises all handling operations on-site.

We conduct structural and cleanliness inspections on dry, reefer, and specialized ISO containers under strict CSC standards. We verify door seals, flooring, structural frames, and interior hygiene so your containerized cargo travels without risk.

We manage comprehensive hold washing, chemical treatments, and mechanical descaling to transition holds between incompatible cargoes (e.g., from petcoke to grain). We deliver clean, dry, residue-free holds that secure required hold cleanliness certificates without delay.

We deploy certified commercial divers and ROVs to inspect hulls, propellers, and sea chests without interrupting your schedule. Our team removes biofouling, performs propeller polishing, and conducts Class In-Water Surveys to boost fuel efficiency and postpone unnecessary drydocking.

When cargo suffers loss, contamination, wetting, or physical damage, our marine investigators act fast. We determine root causes, quantify losses, recommend immediate salvage measures, and deliver defensible survey reports to support your insurance claims or legal disputes.
