PETRO INSPECT ASIA PTE. LTD.

AVA GROUP and its divisions AVA Marine, Bunker Detective and Petro Inspect are a professional marine surveying & cargo inspection organization servicing the international commodity trading community. As a marine surveying and consultancy organization our maritime expertise encompasses the entire range of survey and inspection activities from draft surveys to grain loading supervision acting as port captains, from cargo securing/lashing to multi-million dollar project cargo risk assessments, from marine claims to salvage and technical surveys from P&I condition surveys to Hull & Machinery (H&M) surveys. As the company grew, it was soon realized that a dedicated team of ‘bunker surveyors’ were needed positioned at strategic locations whose sole purpose would be to provide bunker surveying services to ship operators in order to deter fuel theft and mal-practices which are so prevalent even today. Out of this, the idea ‘Bunker Detective’ was born followed by Petro Inspect to cater for the broader range of bunkering activities. Our bunker surveying arm Bunker Detective & Petro Inspect rigorously seeks to maintain its high efficiency in meeting successful and resulted in significant cost savings for our clients. To date we have recovered 1000’s of tones in un-declared fuel, averted numerous cappuccino bunkers and prevented bribery thus saving charterers and owners millions of dollars! Not only that we also serve as ‘protective surveyors’ on charterer’s or owner’s behalf ensuring no mal-practice takes place during bunkering such as cappuccino bunkers, gravitating of fuel, bribery etc. Through multiple offices, subsidiaries and network of partners, a solid foundation of the Company’s infrastructure has been established reflecting the promising future of Bunker Detective | Petro Inspect and enhancing its position as a leading global marine surveying and inspection company.
