Pre-Shipment Inspections (PSI) generally include physical inspection for the purpose of verifying that the goods correspond to the documents provided in respect of: goods description, quantity and specification and the import regulations of the importing country (e.g.,labelling, health, safety, etc.).

The physical inspection is carried out in the Country of exportation/supply of the goods and, whenever possible, in the manufacturers or supplier’s premises. Inspection of bulk cargoes is usually undertaken at time of loading of the ocean vessel. Occasionally, it may be necessary to carry out inspections during production or witness tests at the manufacturer’s premises.

In addition, vanning survey services are offered of the stowage and securing of irregular cargo on flat-rack containers and dangerous or hazardous goods inside containers according to the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) code and CTU Code (Code of practice for Packing of Cargo Transport Units).

Vanning surveys are carried out in order to ensure the safety of the goods and its handling personnel, during transportation by sea, rail or road. To mitigate risk of losses and/or damages.
