Preguntas frecuentes

Lo que armadores y agencias preguntan

What is the difference between a cargo inspection and a hold inspection?
The hold inspection verifies that the space is suitable before loading (clean, dry, watertight). The cargo inspection documents the condition and any damage to the goods. We perform both.
Do you conduct inspections before loading (pre-loading)?
Yes. Pre-loading inspections of cargo holds prevent subsequent rejections and claims.
Is this evidence admissible for a claim?
Yes. We provide dated photos and a report of findings, which serve as the basis for a claim or a defense.
Do you handle all types of cargo?
General cargo, bulk cargo, and containerized cargo, with a focus on condition and damage.
At which ports do they conduct inspections?
Barranquilla, Santa Marta, and Cartagena, in the Colombian Caribbean corridor.
