Cargo surveys at load and discharge
Cargo can be damaged, short-landed or contaminated during loading, carriage or discharge. An independent cargo survey records condition, quantity and handling so responsibility can be allocated fairly under bills of lading, charter parties and insurance policies.
YMR Marine attends bulk and breakbulk operations, general cargo, project and heavy-lift shipments, and containerised cargo when required for damage or shortage claims.
Surveyors document findings with photographs and, where appropriate, recommend practical steps to limit further loss.
Visual inspection of cargo and packaging at discharge or intermediate ports.
Piece counts and quantity checks for bagged, unitised or breakbulk cargo.
Nature, extent and likely cause of damage for claims and recovery.
Systematic photography supporting written findings.
