INSPECTION SERVICES

 

Independent auditors are essential to verify the compliance and execution of contracts between the contracting parties. By conducting these inspections, the contracting parties ensure that both their legal obligations and the cargo's expected standards are met. Our company performs these inspections with over 20 years of engineering and field experience in marine draft surveys, scrap cargo inspection (visual quality, impurity, and density checks for shredded scrap), as well as precious metals and mineral loadings. Thanks to these inspections, it protects the contracting parties from unnecessary financial claims by evaluating correct tonnage, timely delivery, accurate sampling, and whether the vessel is suitable for loading and in proper condition to fulfill the requirements of the transport contract.

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.
