When damage occurs at a Venezuelan port, the difference between a recoverable claim and a lost one is the evidence trail built in the first hours. Our surveyors document each piece from hook to yard: condition at the rail, annotations on tally, segregation of affected cargo, coordination of joint surveys, and a photographic file organized by piece and time that reaches the principal within hours, not weeks.

The service works both ways: as part of our own stevedoring packages, giving the cargo interest an evidentiary record of the operation, or as an independent check when a third party performs the stevedoring and the line or owner wants qualified eyes on the pier.

What does a discharge survey include?
Piece-by-piece condition verification at discharge, tally against the manifest, photographic and video documentation with time stamps, damage annotations and an outturn report signed on completion.
Can T&T survey operations performed by other stevedores?
