A Bunker Quantity Survey (BQS), also known simply as a Bunker Survey, is a quantitative examination of Fuel Oil (Bunker Fuel) delivered to a vessel (the receiver) from a supplier. A BQS is a commonly used Loss Control tool to track significant variances of cargo quantities between the supplier and receiver. Since bunker fuel is often the largest financial cost driver to the operation of a vessel, a BQS is considered a critical service to ensure correct quantities of fuel are delivered.While the specific methods of measuring liquid hydrocarbons, and subsequently a BQS, can vary based on circumstances such as location, available equipment, and accessibility, the general principals converge to certain key procedures. While each BQS provider may vary within the methodology, the underlying procedures are typically involve measuring the cargo volumes and temperatures on both the supplying and receiving vessels before and after the cargo transfer.
