Cargo Inspections

The cargoes we inspect may be bulk, break bulk, containerized, rolling stock or individual items such as machinery, smaller vessels, etc.

We offer a comprehensive range of surveys such as:

• Preshipment. Inspections cover condition, measurement, protection of cargo, lashing/securing and stowage.
• Cleanliness. Suitability of holds and spaces for refrigerated and general cargoes.
• Loading. Marine surveys cover observing the loading process, stowage and securing onboard.
• Discharge. Marine surveys include pre-discharge condition, the discharge process, and loading/securing to transportation.

The type of marine survey arranged can include:

• Condition of cargo (pre-load or outturn)
• Quantity of cargo (using Draft Surveys and/or weighbridge figures)
• Damage to cargo (ascertaining cause and extent of loss)
• Heavy lifts
• Cargo verification and packing

Marine surveys can be undertaken onboard vessels, on the wharf or at any other location (eg. point of dispatch or delivery of cargo)
