Common questions
What is an out-turn survey?
An out-turn survey records the quantity and condition of cargo as it is discharged, so it can be compared with the bill of lading and other shipping documents. It is the key record if a shortage or damage claim follows.
What is a pre-loading survey?
A pre-loading survey checks the cargo before it goes on board: its condition, packing, marking and quantity. It creates a record of how the cargo left the shipper, which protects everyone if a dispute arises later.
