On Hire/Off Hire Bunker Survey
On-Hire Surveys or Off-Hire Surveys of vessels or marine structures may be considered as an independent snap-shot of the condition of a vessel at a particular time and location in the commercial operation of the vessel. The surveys are usually undertaken immediately before the vessel is delivered into a Charter, or immediately prior to redelivery from a Charter and serve to eliminate ambiguity in the circumstances of the vessel’s employment.
