INSPECTION SERVICES

Independent auditors are needed to perform checks on the compliance and implementation of contracts between contracting parties. By performing these inspections, contracting parties ensure that both their legal obligations and the cargo meet the expected standards. Thanks to these inspections, correct tonnage, on time delivery, correct sampling and also whether the ship is suitable for loading and in a suitable condition to fulfill the requirements of the carriage contract are evaluated, thus protecting the contracting parties from unnecessary financial claims.

When taking samples, it is extremely important to apply practical and correct sampling methods in order to obtain samples that are homogeneous and truly representative of the entire cargo.

For example; copper, zinc or lead concentrates, solid fuels weighing and sampling may vary in quality. Contamination may be limited to certain areas of the warehouse or ship. Therefore, it is vital that the entire shipment is thoroughly and methodically inspected and sampled. Our company follows correct sampling methods, because if improper sampling methods are applied, any subsequent laboratory analysis may be disrupted, the laboratory chemist is only as good as the sample analyzed. Sampling is absolutely critical and that is why our inspectors are fully involved throughout the entire duration of the inspection. The costs of inspection and analysis are small compared to the commercial value of the commodity traded; the peace of mind is priceless. Our comprehensive range of inspections helps you reduce risk, control quality and quantity and meet all relevant legal requirements across regions and markets.
