Home / Trade / Quality & inspection

Nothing ships on trust alone.

Independent inspection at loading, a full document set, and payment only against documents — the rules we apply to every cargo.

Laboratory quality testing
Inspection

Checked by an independent inspector.

SGS, Bureau Veritas or Intertek sample the cargo during loading and issue certificates of quality and quantity. The buyer can appoint its own inspector at its cost.

  • Sampling during loading, not from stock
  • Certificate of analysis against contract specification
  • Draft survey or weight certificate
  • Hold and hatch cleanliness inspection for bulk
