Marine Cargo Surveys

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.
