Cotecna Africa

Draft Survey Services

Cotecna provides accurate Draft Survey services in Africa and worldwide, ensuring precise cargo weight determination, minimizing trade disputes, and supporting safe, compliant global shipping.

At Cotecna, our Draft Survey Services offer a reliable and efficient method for determining cargo weight, ensuring accuracy and transparency in global trade operations.

Designed to measure the exact quantity of cargo loaded or discharged, our surveys support all stakeholders in the supply chain. While the tanker industry recognizes a 0.5% outturn allowance, the dry bulk sector lacks a standardized discrepancy threshold. 

In this context, Cotecna’s qualified inspectors, working collaboratively with all involved parties, deliver precise weight assessments that help minimize disputes and protect commercial interests.

As a trusted global provider of inspection and certification services, Cotecna ensures:

  • Accurate cargo weight determination through proven methodologies
  • Swift execution across our international network
  • Expert oversight by experienced professionals
  • Compliance and confidence in every transaction
