Container Surveys

Containerization has drastically changed the international trade standard in shipping. Door to door service of containers has led to the requirement of many ports and terminals.

Thus, companies that deal with containerized shipping are often interested in surveys of containers.

We carry out damage surveys, condition surveys, repair surveys and monitoring of containers.

Containers carry anything from equipment and machinery parts to children’s toys and clothing to perishable goods. Due to this increase in the production of containers, there is a greater need of reliable inspections.

Determining whether a container is unsuitable for cargo can greatly reduce the risk of liability for firms exporting goods.

We have a professional team with precise qualifications and experience to verify the structural integrity of the container.

We offer a variety of inspection services for container services including but not limited to the following:

  • Visual Inspections prior to crating / packaging
