Gresham Marine Introduces New Service
Thursday, October 16, 2003
Gresham Marine Surveying, Inc., headquartered in Savannah, Ga., has opened operations serving the Savannah,
Brunswick, Charleston, and Jacksonville maritime communities. Capt. Jeffrey T. Gresham, MNI, President of Gresham
Marine Surveying, Inc., is one of only a few marine surveyors in the world currently providing the draft/freeboard indicator
service. The draft/freeboard indicator is accurate for obtaining drafts on vessels and barges to 1/16th of an inch. This
specialized instrument has gained a reputation in the maritime industry as being indispensable for calculating displacement
tonnages on barges and bulk carriers. "When dealing with bulk cargo, whether loading or discharging, the freeboard/draft
indicator is an exceptional tool for performing displacement draft surveys, and the accuracy is not affected by sea and
swell," said Capt. Jeffrey Gresham. In addition to displacement draft surveys, Gresham Marine Surveying, Inc., also
provides numerous other surveys, including: On/Off hire bunker and vessel condition, P&I, cargo damage claims, cargo
operations during loading or discharge, hatch opening and steel cargo, and tanker ROB surveys. The company also
provides expert witness services. "All surveys are performed in an unprejudiced manner with respect to the rights of all
concerned parties," said Gresham.
