Technical and commercial expert support for tanker disputes, including cargo shortage, contamination, vetting and speed claims.
Tanker cases often turn on cargo quantity and quality: shortage claims measured against shore figures, contamination traced to tank coatings or line flushing, and heating or commingling disputes. Others concern vetting failures, SIRE observations that kept a vessel off charter, and speed and consumption claims under time charters.
We pair a tanker master or chief officer, who can read ullage reports, cargo logs and pumping records, with a financial expert who can quantify demurrage, off-hire and lost freight. Where a sample result is disputed we bring in a petroleum or chemical cargo specialist to test the sampling chain before conclusions are drawn.
