When the Voyage Goes Wrong

A container finally arrives after weeks at sea, but something’s off. The fruit is soft. The temperatures wandered outside required ranges. The shelf life that should have been two weeks is now closer to two days. The buyer is reluctant, and everyone is looking for someone to blame.

In that moment, you need an independent record of what happened and why—before evidence disappears.

Our marine surveys capture the facts on the ground. We document condition at arrival, secure temperature logs, interview the parties involved, and analyse what went wrong. Was it delay? Temperature deviation? Poor handling? Pre-shipment condition? We give you a clear, defensible opinion.

What We Cover

• Cargo and vessel-related surveys

• Transit loss investigations

• Damage assessment and cause analysis

• Documentation review (temperature logs, waybills, commercial invoices)

Why Our Findings Hold Up

Every survey is conducted with an eye toward the legal and contractual frameworks that govern marine transport. Our reports are structured to be defensible—whether they’re used in negotiation, mediation, or formal proceedings. Where required, we align our assessments with industry standards and international conventions.
