Road Cargo Surveys by Independent Cargo Surveyors

Road cargo surveys play a critical role in protecting cargo interests during inland and cross-border transport.
We provide independent road cargo surveys and truck cargo inspections to assess cargo condition, quantity, quality, and damage throughout the road transport chain.

Our surveyors act independently for logistics operators, cargo owners, insurers, freight forwarders, manufacturers, and legal professionals, delivering clear, evidence-based reports suitable for insurance claims, transport disputes, and legal proceedings.

Scope of Road Cargo Survey Services

Our road cargo surveys cover local, national and international road transport, from warehouse loading to final delivery.
