Canadian Tonnage Measurement for Canadian Documentation
We are one of only two companies recognised to provide tonnage
measurement who are based in the Caribbean.
The Tonnage Measurement Survey is quite different from a Condition
Survey.
The Tonnage Survey is carried our by a complicated series of measurements
which are used to evaluate the internal volume of the hull and deck
structure. There are various areas which are excluded from the tonnage,
such as toilets if they are above the tonnage deck. The tonnage is used
by the Port Authorities to levee harbour fees etc.
Before you request a Tonnage Survey, you should contact the port where
you want the vessel to be registered and confirm that the name is
available. We can then carry out the survey.
The survey can usually be carried out afloat, provided there is access to
the hull interior throughout the vessel. In some instances you may be
asked to provide plans of the vessel or, in rare cases, to haul the
vessel.
The survey will probably take about 4 hours for a 50' boat. We then
retire to the computer to work out the formula. You do not get a copy of
the form. We send the forms, photographs, drawings of the plan view, end
and side elevations to Transport Canada.
If your boat is 12 meters LOA or less, you can do the measurement
yourself with a simplified format. Our fees vary with the size of the
vessel but for a normal vessel less than 25 tons (most sailing boats less
than 45’) we charge US$500.00 plus any travel time at US$130.00 per hour
We usually do not charge travel time for vessels on Tortola.
