• We measure the cargo's cubic feet for freight payment purposes, and verify its condition by recording all visible damage before shipment at the dock for insurance purposes, carriers and forwarders.

• We also perform cargo handling and lashing before and during loading on behalf of shippers, underwriters, carriers and forwarders.
• Surveys of break-bulk cargo to ensure that bills of lading and mate's receipts accurately note the apparent condition of cargo when it is loaded.
• We perform out-turn surveys of steel, on arrival at the discharge port, to establish condition, any damages and shift of cargo that may have occurred during the voyage by using the Silver Nitrate testing for chloride residues.
