Documentation Review: Surveyors review and verify shipping documents, invoices, bills of lading, and other paperwork to ensure accuracy and compliance with regulations.
Cargo Stowage and Securing Inspection: Surveyors assess how cargo is stowed, secured, and lashed within containers, vessels, or other transport modes to prevent shifting, damage, or accidents during transit.
Damage Assessment and Claims Investigation: In cases of damage or loss, surveyors investigate the cause and extent of the damage, providing detailed reports that can be used for insurance claims or legal purposes.
Customs Compliance: Surveyors ensure that cargo complies with customs regulations and documentation requirements to prevent delays or penalties.
