Along with cargo insurance, the involvement of an independent expert at key stages of the supply chain, who is able to inspect and assess the required object (cargo, vehicle, etc.), helps to minimize losses. Such a third party is a specialized organization - a surveyor.
The surveyor's report is accepted in the court or the insurance company as an expert opinion in determining the circumstances associated with damage, spoilage or theft of cargo.
Our company is engaged in the provision of professional independent survey services. Certified specialists of the company assess the quality at different stages of transportation of food, bulk, hazardous, construction, liquid and other goods, provide the following types of services:

- The company's specialist collects and analyzes the necessary information, submits a survey report on the inspection.
Survey report - a document that is drawn up after a surveyor inspection of an object (container, car, cargo, etc.). The survey report includes: a description of the object being inspected, the circumstances under which the surveyor inspection was carried out (place, time of inspection, noticed inconsistencies, etc.), as well as conclusions regarding the state of this object at the time of the surveyor inspection. In addition to the survey report, calculations, photographs, video recordings, results of laboratory tests or other tests may be attached. This document is certified by the signature of the surveyor responsible for its preparation, as well as the seal of the survey company.
