Marine Department

At GESCO Shipping & Logistics, our dedicated marine department offers expert surveying services across all major ports in Israel. We provide shipowners, charterers, insurers, and P&I clubs with the precise inspections and reliable reports you need to protect your interests.

As an agent for the SGS Group, a global leader in inspections, our experienced surveyors specialize in:

• Cargo Surveys: We oversee the loading and unloading of all cargo types, from bulk and grain to liquids and chemicals, and provide lab analysis to confirm quality.
• LPG Inspection: We inspect Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) products at refineries, pipelines, and storage facilities. We also offer loss and quality control services during production and transfer, following ASTM and other international standards.
• Cleanliness Inspections: We ensure cargo holds are ready for contamination-free transport with independent hold and hatch inspections.
• Hatch Inspections: We verify that seals and securing arrangements prevent cargo damage. We use visual inspections, chalk, hose, and ultrasonic leak detection (ULD) tests to provide an objective assessment.
• Draft Surveys: We accurately verify cargo quantity to prevent disputes.
• Bunker & Fuel Surveys: We quantify fuel to ensure transparency and avoid conflicts.
• On/Off-Hire Condition Surveys: We document the condition of a vessel at the start or end of a charter.

With decades of local expertise, GESCO guarantees a fast response, transparent reports, and a professional service that meets international maritime standards. Our team is available 24/7 for both routine and urgent surveys.
