Damage Investigation

THE WORK

What the attendance is meant to establish.

Damage cases need a reliable record before opinions start to diverge. We attend to document what is visible, identify the affected area or units, review the circumstances and available records, and note facts relevant to the apparent cause and extent without going beyond the evidence available at the time.

Typical scope

• Cargo and packaging damage
• Container / reefer damage
• Hull, shell plating and deck damage
• Crane / grab / equipment damage
• Joint inspection with interested parties
• Loss mitigation observations where practical

What the client receives

• Photographic record and affected-unit count
• Measurements / temperatures / seal details where relevant
• Chronology and statements made available during attendance
• Damage survey report with observations and limitations
