Loading & Discharge Supervision

Whatever commodity you are shipping, TAIF Surveyors Ltd has expert inspectors at Somalia and Somaliland ports ready to offer trustworthy load and discharge supervision. Shipment of any consignment carries a potential number of risks. These include a loss of material through poor handling and quality variations from contamination or transport damage. These can result in significant financial loss for the commercial parties involved, which is why expert load and discharge supervision and inspection is so critical.

Our inspectors can be in full time attendance at every operational stage to provide loading supervision and discharge supervision, ensuring you receive a constant and direct flow of information. Acting as the eyes and ears of our customers, TAIF Surveyors Ltd provide a reliable and independent source of information verifying the compliance of cargo to shipping documents and assuring that discharge or loading operation is performed in line with industry standard practices. The cause and origins of all stoppages are recorded and shared with our clients very quickly to allow for real-time troubleshooting. Any damaged cargo observed is assessed and reported, assisting our customers in the recovery of losses. We issue comprehensive reports which have been used to claim successfully against Marine Cargo Insurance, Shippers, and Stevedores. Photographic reports are issued, illustrating the entire process thus providing visual evidence of any problems that may occur during the operation.
