Marine Cargo Surveys
Protecting Cargo Interests at Every Stage
Cargo surveys record what actually happened to a consignment — the condition it was in, how it was handled, and whether the loss or shortage claimed is supported by what was observed at the quayside.
We attend loading and discharge operations, inspect containers and stowage arrangements, survey bulk and breakbulk consignments, and assess any damage, so that cargo owners and insurers hold an independent record of the facts.
Independent Record of Cargo Condition
From pre-loading inspection through to outturn, our attendance produces the contemporaneous evidence that settles cargo claims — recorded photographically and reported without commercial bias.
