LIQUID OPERATIONS

Liquid cargo operations — including flexitanks, isotanks, and tank trucks — involve high-value commodities, strict handling requirements, and significant exposure to leakage, contamination, and quantity loss.

At Nunes Marine Consultants, we provide independent survey services for containerized liquid operations, supporting shippers, traders, logistics operators, insurers, and P&I Clubs with accurate inspections, procedural control, and defensible documentation throughout the entire operation.
