About us
To carry out the most accurate and honest surveys combined together
Eleven years ago Global Bunker Inspections B.V. was born. Maurice van Dijk started this company after years of experience, gained by working for major inspection companies. He has seen over more than a thousand vessels and uncountable barges.
After years of service in the field as cargo and bunker surveyor, STS supervisor and expeditor, he found his ambition in starting his own business. Today, eleven years later, Maurice build up a well respected business. With a small group of experienced surveyors GBI protects her clients interests at all times.
What we do
SERVICES
Bunker Surveys
Bunker surveys are carried out as per industry and client survey instructions. Our dedication goes out solely to receiving parties.
On / Off hire Surveys
We can attend any type of ship or vessel to check all the items requested by our clients, in on- and off hire inspection. We carry our on- and off hire surveys on behalf of charterers or owners.
ROB Surveys
ROB surveys carried out for determining the quantity of Fuel Oil and Diesel Oil remaining on board a ship, at any time. Usually, they are required at the time of delivery to charterers or re-delivery to owners.
Sampling Services
A single sample (qubitainer 10.ltr) shall be drawn continuously throughout the delivery. From either the end of the bunker hose (using an automatic sampler or a continuous drip sampling device) at the receiving vessel’s inlet bunker manifold.

Vision & Mission
“As from our experience in the past over the last 17 years and our perspective into the future, we offer our clients loyalty, flexibility and expertise. As well as development and improvement.
While our clients are miles away from our location we are dealing with loads of their money. We are the eyes and ears of our client on board. Therefore we have a huge responsibility towards them to carry out our job accordingly. The trust lies into our hands and therefore expertise is of great importance.
Fuel quantity differences will never disappear unfortunately. Sounding tables, converted tanks, movements on list and trim, false or inaccurate deliveries, cappuccino effect and more, needs to be taken into account. Therefore the surveyors presence and expertise to conduct a survey on the bunkerbarge is of exceptional value. This to calculate correct discharged figures with a correct temperature as well.”
Safety
Quantity and quality are not the most important keywords. Safety is one of them as well. Though we are using certified equipment and proper personal protection gear, it does not stop just there. A safe solas access to the barges by gangway,
manifold check and securing the bunkerhose also come along with safety.
Especially working with VLSFO brings a lot responsibilities. On regular basis we encounter unsafe working areas with this fuel. We monitor advise and adjust if necessary.
Our responsibility goes further than the service we offer.
Sampling
As important the quantity on board of the receiving vessel is, the weight/quality of the product is at least that important. Offenly the bqs does not come standard with taking care of the sampling. With respect we also ensure a representative
sample will be drawn and countersealed by surveyor, which can be offered for lab services. A continuous drip sample at least is required, we can assure you that during the entire bunker operation we will take care of a representive
sample.
