Independent inspection, QA/QC, and verification solutions for oil & gas, energy, and industrial projects across Canada and international markets.

Crude Oil & Petroleum Products Inspection


A.R.T. provides independent inspection and verification services for crude oil, refined petroleum products, fuels, and other liquid hydrocarbons. Our inspections are designed to verify the quality, quantity, condition, and conformity of products throughout storage, transportation, loading, discharge, and delivery operations.

Our inspection activities may include measurement of cargo quantities, sampling, temperature and density determination, visual examination, documentation review, and verification against contractual specifications and applicable industry standards. Independent inspection provides buyers, sellers, traders, terminals, operators, and other stakeholders with reliable information for commercial and operational decisions.




Quantity & Quality Control


Accurate quantity and quality verification is essential in the trading, transportation, storage, and delivery of petroleum and petrochemical products. A.R.T. provides independent control services to help clients confirm that the quantity and quality of products delivered correspond with contractual requirements and agreed specifications.

Our services may include quantity measurement, sampling, product identification, temperature and density measurements, document verification, and coordination of laboratory analysis where required. Inspection findings are documented in professional reports, helping clients identify discrepancies, minimize commercial risks, and maintain transparency throughout transactions.




Ullage Survey


A.R.T. provides ullage survey services for liquid cargoes stored in vessel tanks and other suitable storage facilities. Ullage measurements, together with tank calibration data, temperature, density, and other relevant parameters, can be used to determine the quantity of cargo present at the time of inspection.

Our inspectors perform measurements and verify relevant vessel and cargo documentation before preparing inspection reports. Ullage surveys can be conducted during loading, discharge, transfer, or custody-transfer operations and provide an independent basis for quantity determination and reconciliation between parties.




Bunker Survey


A.R.T. provides independent bunker survey services for marine fuel and other bunker products supplied to vessels. The purpose of the survey is to independently verify the quantity and condition of fuel delivered and to document the transfer process between the supplier and receiving vessel.

Our inspection activities may include pre-delivery checks, tank measurements, sampling, temperature measurement, quantity calculations, documentation review, and monitoring of bunker transfer operations. Proper sampling and documentation help establish an accurate record of the bunker delivery and support the resolution of quantity or quality discrepancies.




Ship-to-Ship Inspection


Ship-to-ship inspection services are provided during the transfer of petroleum products, crude oil, and other liquid cargoes between vessels. A.R.T. provides independent inspection and supervision to help ensure that cargo quantities, measurements, sampling, and documentation are properly recorded throughout the transfer operation.

Our inspectors can monitor relevant cargo operations, verify tank measurements, collect or supervise representative samples, review cargo documentation, and reconcile quantities before and after transfer. These services provide buyers, sellers, vessel operators, and cargo interests with independent records of the transaction.




Draught Survey


A.R.T. provides draught survey services for determining the quantity or weight of bulk cargo carried by vessels. The survey is based on measurements of vessel displacement and relevant corrections before and after loading or discharge operations.

Our inspectors review vessel information, record draught readings, assess ballast and consumable quantities, and perform the necessary calculations to determine cargo quantity. Draught surveys provide an independent method for verifying bulk cargo quantities and can help identify differences between shore figures, vessel figures, and contractual quantities.




Tank Inspection & Calibration


Accurate tank measurement is essential for reliable quantity determination in petroleum, petrochemical, and industrial operations. A.R.T. provides inspection, measurement, and verification services for storage and cargo tanks used for liquid products and other materials.

Our services may include dimensional measurements, verification of tank condition, review of calibration information, volume determination, and assessment of measurement equipment and procedures. Where applicable, tank calibration and measurement activities can support accurate inventory management, custody transfer, stock reconciliation, and commercial transactions.




Loss Control


Losses and quantity discrepancies can occur during production, storage, transportation, loading, discharge, and transfer of petroleum products. A.R.T. provides loss control and quantity reconciliation services to help identify potential sources of discrepancies and distinguish between operational, measurement, and documentation-related differences.

Our approach may include comparison of loading and discharge figures, review of measurement records, examination of temperature and density variations, assessment of tank and vessel measurements, and analysis of relevant operational documentation. The resulting findings can help clients identify recurring issues and improve control over product movements.




Cargo Inspection


A.R.T. provides independent cargo inspection services for petroleum products, petrochemical materials, industrial commodities, and other cargoes. Our inspectors assess cargo condition, quantity, identification, handling, and conformity with relevant contractual or technical requirements.

Depending on the nature of the cargo, inspection activities may include visual examination, sampling, quantity measurement, packaging and marking verification, documentation review, and supervision of handling operations. Our reports provide clients with an independent record of cargo condition and inspection findings at the time of examination.




Loading & Discharge Supervision


A.R.T. provides independent supervision of loading and discharge operations for petroleum products, liquid cargoes, and industrial materials. Our inspectors monitor operations and verify that agreed procedures, measurements, sampling requirements, and documentation are properly followed.

During loading and discharge, our team may monitor quantity measurements, tank readings, sampling activities, cargo identification, seals, documentation, and relevant operational records. Independent supervision helps reduce the risk of quantity discrepancies, improper handling, documentation errors, and disputes between cargo interests.
