TAG/ICIB’s inspectors in all major European ports are measuring oversized cargo for accurate dimensions. The aim is to provide a neutral measurement result that all parties can agree on. Our inspectors measure the cargo, often flat-racks and trailers, right before the vessel loads and report the results to the carrier for their follow-up.

Cargo Quality Control plays a more key role every day. For example, a truck shipped to the Middle East may not get discharged if there is any damage or import control on your suppliers. Our inspectors would assure that the quality and count ordered by you arrives safely in the port of discharge. After approval is received by the local authorities, we would open your container, check its contents for quantity, size, and quality, and if everything is in line the container will be released to the destination. If your suppliers did not follow your instructions, we would hold the container pending your further instructions.

We also provide cargo surveys to assess damages that occur during transportation. Our principals include insurance companies, underwriters, and P&I Clubs. In these surveys, we analyze the cause of the damage as well as the liability. Particular attention is also given to the packing condition and stowage in containers.
Other services offered include: investigation of theft and recovery actions where applicable; estimated damage evaluation for yachts and other boats; loss-prevention, which includes pre-shipment assistance or attendance with the aim to reduce losses and damages;  AD HOC security and procedures for inland haulages moving under satellite control; and auditing security installments for warehouses and relevant logistic procedures.
