Container loss, damage, securing

We have investigated several container loss cases including damage to stows, some of these resulting in giving expert evidence at court in the UK and US, arbitration and mediation.

Issues investigated include loss, stow collapse and subsequent damage, stability, routeing, IMDG stowage and segregation, etc.

We have extensive experience supervising the loading, stowing and securing of project cargoes, and conversely, investigating the loss of and damage to this type of cargo in transit and during discharge.

Cargoes handled include heavy lift, steel products, architectural components, railway carriages and engines, cranes, coils, machinery, boats / yachts, wheeled and tracked vehicles, etc.
