Discharge Survey – Perishable Cargo
Our surveyors were on hand in Mauritius to carry out an independent discharge survey on a shipment of perishable fruit, where quality issues were identified upon inspection.
Timely, on-site surveys like this are critical for perishable cargo, early detection of quality deterioration helps cargo owners, insurers, and freight forwarders act quickly, support claims where necessary, and minimise losses before they escalate.
Discharge Survey – Perishable Cargo
Our surveyors carried out an independent discharge survey on a shipment of garlic, shipped from China to Cameroon, where quality issues were identified during inspection.
Perishable and semi-perishable cargo like garlic requires close attention at the point of discharge, early identification of quality deviations helps cargo owners, insurers, and freight forwarders respond quickly, support any resulting claims, and limit further losses.
Ultrasonic Inspections
Our surveyors carried out ultrasonic inspections in Morocco, providing precise, non-intrusive assessment of structural and container integrity.
Ultrasonic testing is a critical tool in identifying hidden defects, corrosion, and structural weaknesses that aren't visible to the naked eye helping cargo owners, insurers, and vessel operators make informed decisions and prevent costly failures before they occur.
Condition survey
As part of our continued expansion across Europe, we successfully coordinated and completed a condition survey in Antwerp on a cargo of BA13 H plasterboard panels and associated accessories destined for Kribi. We remain committed to delivering consistent, high-quality service and supporting our clients with reliable, expert-led assessments across key African and European locations.
Loading MAP in bulk

This reflects our ongoing commitment to accurate, on-site cargo surveying for bulk commodity shipments worldwide.
