Inspection

Appointing Alex Stewart to perform an inspection helps fulfil contractual terms and provides practical protection for international commercial transactions.

Accurate weighing and sound delivery are only two factors to consider when fulfilling contractual obligations. Alex Stewart inspectors are fully familiar with internationally accepted sampling and weighing procedures.

Supervision, inspection and sampling are performed to ISO standards. Practical and correct sampling methods are applied to obtain homogeneous and representative samples of the entire cargo. Through rigorous sampling methods and a presence throughout supervision operations, Alex Stewart provides precise samples whenever our team is called to act.

Inspection and analysis costs are minimal compared with the commercial value of your goods.

IMR

Risk management inspection

Risk management inspection is a service at both the loading and discharge ports that provides optimum protection for your cargo. The service includes initial consultation, investigation and technical reports covering loading and discharge logistics, infrastructure and weighing and sampling procedures.

For consecutive deliveries, inspectors are present throughout loading and discharge to supervise operations, detect inferior cargo quality and ensure correct procedures are adopted to protect your delivery from discrepancies, contamination or damage.

Inspectors immediately inform clients of problems during loading or discharge procedures. Letters of Protest can be issued on request. Digital photographs can also be taken on request to provide visual evidence of cargo quality and transport operations. A detailed report is issued and sent as soon as the operation is complete.

IMR: practical protection for your cargo

Continuous supervision, clear reporting and immediate communication help protect your cargo throughout the operation.
