Cargo Expertise

Specialized maritime cargoes, like solid bulk cargo, grains, containers, project cargo, and heavy-lift shipments, demand expert knowledge, rigorous and impartial oversight, and legal defensibility at every stage of the supply chain. Their complexity and high value create inherent risks of damage, shortage, contamination, or liquefaction, making impartial expert intervention essential both to safeguard operations and to resolve claims.

Our team of Master Mariners, Chief Engineers, Naval Architects, and Cargo Experts provides independent, court-defensible expertise trusted by P&I Clubs, shipowners, charterers, underwriters, and cargo interests worldwide. With a strong U.S. presence and international reach, we deliver precision and clarity across all cargo sectors:

• Dry Bulk Cargoes: Grain, coal, ores, concentrates, fertilizers, cement, clinker, and other IMSBC cargoes, with specialist oversight of liquefaction risks, stowage, and thermal/gas monitoring.
• Specialized and Project Cargoes: Steel products, containers, RORO/PCTC, turbines, locomotives, and modular heavy lifts, managed with monitoring and assessing securing, stowage, and risk mitigation practices.
