cargo surveying

Cargo surveying is the process of inspecting and assessing the condition and quantity of goods being transported, typically by ship. This ensures that the cargo is loaded and secured properly, meets safety standards, and is compliant with regulations. Surveyors document the cargo’s condition before and after transport, identifying any damage or discrepancies. Their reports help resolve disputes between shipping companies and cargo owners and ensure that shipments are handled correctly throughout their journey. Essentially, cargo surveying protects the interests of all parties involved in the shipping process.
