Representation port loading and discharge

We visually inspect the cargo at the stockpiles, barges or railcars when the vessel has berthed at a terminal or quay, to identify any changes to the cargo, and verify that holds and hatches are clean and suitable for loading the intended cargo.

The initial and final draft readings are monitored conjointly with the nominated marine surveyor. In addition to this, we ensure that all soundings are duly recorded and all measurements, soundings and calculations are performed accurately.

Quality inspections

We inspect terminal facilities, including blending equipment (if applicable), magnetic separators, screening and cleaning units and sampling systems to verify that they are in proper working order.  A quality inspection of the loading process is monitored and we visually inspect the condition of the cargo to guard against loading of contaminants and general suitability for use by the client.

Additional services that can be offered include a witnessed sample preparation, total moisture determination and a pre-shipment cargo inspection.
