Greater Oversight at Critical Cargo Handling Stages
Monitoring Cargo Handling to Minimise Losses and Prevent Commercial Disputes
Intertek's loading and discharge supervision monitors cargo handling to ensure that goods are managed in accordance with agreed requirements. This helps minimise losses and prevent commercial disputes.
The service forms part of Intertek's tradeable and customised solutions, which support activities at loading and dispatch ports as goods move across international markets.
Monitoring cargo handling
Cargo handling is a critical stage in the movement of goods. Supervision means that the way cargo is handled is monitored, so that goods are managed in accordance with the requirements agreed between the parties.
Managing goods in accordance with agreed requirements
Agreed requirements set out how goods are expected to be managed. Monitoring cargo handling against those requirements helps all parties to a transaction have confidence that what was agreed has been followed.
Minimising losses and preventing disputes
Handling that falls short of agreed requirements can lead to losses and, in turn, to commercial disputes. Supervision addresses this at the point of handling, helping to minimise losses and to prevent disputes before they arise.
Key benefits
- Minimised losses: oversight of cargo handling to help limit loss.
- Prevention of commercial disputes: confidence that goods have been managed as agreed.
- Handling in line with requirements: cargo managed in accordance with agreed requirements.
