Cargo Survey

Attending to a cargo survey does not mean that a surveyor may just simply equip himself with a camera, click a few photographs and easily reach a mutual agreement with the opposite party in respect to liability and quantum of claim. Indeed, it is often of dire consequences for the instructing party should he be unfortunate enough to encounter such a surveyor to represent his interest. By the time claim handlers receive the survey report, which could be a mere regurgitation of the opposite party’s findings or worse yet, investigations not thoroughly carried out which then result in unfounded / incorrect or baseless findings, the damage done has already reached its peak of malignancy. Claim handlers who are usually desk bound are dependent on the appointed surveyors to not only be their eyes and ears, but, knowledgeable in the task defined as well as the mouthpiece of the Principals’ interest.

At CJA, we view our Principal’s interest to be of paramount importance. Minimising the loss and scaling down the value of claim is what we do best and through our concerted efforts, our Principal has been spared hefty sums of money on many occasions. Indeed, this is certainly one of the most gratifying part of our job.
