MedSurveys understands that with the increase of imports from the Far East in recent years, where both the technology and manufacturing techniques do not always reach high quality standards, underwriters, ship owners and their respective parties need to pay more attention to the inspection of commodities in order to avoid damage and inconvenience not covered by their insurance policies.

Medsurveys co-ordinates quantity and quality surveys of commodities prior to their despatch, and can retrieve data regarding all the parties involved in a consignment; these being the manufacturers, importers and forwarders.

Thanks to Medsurveys' database that draws from hundreds of case studies and an archive of operations developed over the years, it is possible to forsee and avoid unexpected problems, that could be potentially expensive and the cause of delay.

Not all loads are suited to containerization, and the company's qualified surveyors can advise on the correct stowage and lashing procedures for specific commodities and out-sized cargoes. For customers shipping fully loaded refrigerated containers, Medsurveys is able to attend & report during pre-chilling ensuring that the reefer and commodity reach the desired temperature & that there is correct air circulation, avoiding any eventuality of spoilage that will not be covered by cargo insurance.
