Types of damage
We survey every kind of loss around transport, whether the load is lying in a ditch, has spoiled in the warehouse or is only noticed at the consignee.
Casualties
Accident, overturning, fire, loss of load. Salvage, securing of evidence and immediate measures at the scene.
Cargo and goods damage
Breakage, wet damage, deformation, shortages. Survey at the place of discharge and clarification of where in the transport chain the damage occurred.
Carrier liability
Claims against carrier, forwarder or warehouse keeper, examined both in principle and in amount.
Removal damage
Private and commercial. Survey of the damage pattern, valuation and clarification of responsibility.
Packing damage
Unsuitable or damaged packing, inadequate load securing, stacking pressure, pallet failure.
Warehouse damage
Damage in storage and handling, impact damage, moisture, infestation, stock shortages.
Temperature-controlled goods
Break in the cold chain, failure of the reefer unit, wrong set temperature. Evaluation of temperature recorders and data loggers.
Contamination and mixing
Mixing of lots or products, for instance in silo transports and bulk cargo, with the question of further usability.
Other losses
Anything else around transport. Ask us, and we will tell you frankly whether we are the right people for it.
Damage in pictures
Three photographs taken during surveys. Every casualty looks different, the questions are always the same: cause, amount, responsibility.
Full clarification
Where the facts or the damage pattern are unclear, we insist on full clarification. Our casualty and damage reports state every discrepancy known to us, even where it does not suit the party instructing us. That is precisely what makes a report stand up.
Report a loss
One call is enough, we sort out the rest on the phone.
