Areas of Expertise

Over the years, we’ve built up a team of dedicated and experienced professionals in the fields of marine survey and cargo inspection, with the main categories as follows:

 

Cargo Inspections

 

  • Weighing, sampling, and sample preparation for nonferrous metals, ores and concentrates
  • Loading and discharging supervision for general, dry bulk, liquid cargoes
  • Pre-shipment Inspection (PSI) against drawing and contractual specifications
  • Container stuffing/stripping supervision and tallying service
  • Pre-production inspection and in-factory auditing
  • Tallying for general cargoes, and Scale Weighing supervision for bulk cargoes
  • Ullaging, sampling and Outturn supervision on bulk liquid cargoes
  • Fruit inspection (temperatures, country damage, chill damage)
  • Pre-purchase/contract sampling and testing
  • Dropping Test for packing suitability of bagged cargoes
