Consult Maritime LLC provides independent cargo and project cargo survey services supporting shipowners, charterers, cargo interests, freight forwarders, insurers, EPC contractors, and logistics providers.
Our surveys are designed to verify cargo condition, monitor handling operations, document loading and discharge activities, and identify risks that may affect the safe transportation of cargo. Services are delivered on a principal-led basis with emphasis on factual observations, photographic documentation, and practical reporting.
From conventional cargoes to complex breakbulk and heavy-lift movements, we provide independent oversight throughout the cargo transportation process.
Cargo & Project Cargo Survey
Inspection and monitoring of conventional, breakbulk, heavy-lift, and project cargoes during loading, transit, and discharge operations.
Independent Cargo Monitoring and Risk Management Support
Cargo Surveys
We conduct independent assessment, supervision, and risk management for cargo, breakbulk, and heavy lift operations across the supply chain. The scope includes engineering review of lift plans, supervision of loading and discharge operations, and assessment of handling practices to ensure safe operations, protection of cargo value, and compliance with commercial and regulatory requirements.
Cargo surveys provide an independent record of cargo condition and handling during loading, transit, and discharge operations.
Surveys may be conducted before shipment, during cargo operations, or upon arrival to verify cargo condition and identify any visible damage, shortages, or handling concerns.
Typical cargo survey activities include:
Loading and discharge attendance
Cargo condition inspections
Cargo tally verification
Packaging and securing assessments
Documentation review
Damage and shortage reporting
