Between "loaded" and "delivered" sits the part of the transaction nobody watches. An independent survey at the point of loading is often the only evidence that exists when a claim is later disputed.

Loading and lashing supervision

We attend the loading operation, verify cargo condition and quantity before it goes on, check lashing, securing and dunnage adequacy for the intended voyage, and photograph the sequence. For heavy lift and project cargo we verify lifting arrangements and rigging against the approved lift plan.

Documents that release payment

Where your contract or letter of credit calls for an independent inspection certificate — a routine documentary requirement under UCP 600 and ISBP 745 — that is precisely the document we issue, in the format your bank requires.
