01 / Overview
A service shaped around the voyage
Representative cargo sampling and laboratory analysis for quality and quantity reconciliation.
Cargo sampling and analysis services from VOTPI provide representative sample collection and laboratory testing for petroleum products at load, discharge and in-transit points. Our technicians use ISO-standard sampling protocols to collect samples from ships, pipelines, terminals and storage tanks. Samples are analysed in accredited laboratories for key parameters including density, distillation characteristics, sulfur content, water content, sediment and contamination. Results are delivered as detailed analytical certificates with interpretation and recommendations. Our experts also provide testimony and documentation support for cargo claims and quality disputes.
