Cargo Inspections

The cargoes we inspect may be bulk, break bulk, containerised, 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. Surveys cover observing the loading process, stowage and securing onboard.
  • Discharge. Surveys include pre-discharge condition, the discharge process, and loading/securing to transportation.

The type of 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

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