When trading minerals and metals commodities, you need to be certain cargos conform to regulatory requirements and contractual obligations. Failure to confirm quality and integrity during loading could result in noncompliance.
We provide pre-shipment inspection (PSIs) for the full range of traded minerals and metals. When you need to be sure that a cargo corresponds to the offered quality, or when you are presented with a Notice of Cargo Readiness for loading in a faraway location, we can inspect the cargo on your behalf to determine if the cargo is indeed present and that it corresponds to the supplier’s specification. Following the PSI, we also recommend loading supervision to ensure the final cargo loaded onto the vessel or placed into a container corresponds to the quantity and quality expected.
