Veseel Inspection

The objective of this service is to provide additional trust that the goods to be shipped are the same or substantially similar to those described in the order form as being the object of a transaction. This visual inspection is performed at the time of loading / unloading and determines if the characteristics of units chosen at random (chosen according to the sampling plan appropriate for the product) match those which were declared on the purchase order's product description, product specification and features.

Product characteristics or quality parameters that cannot be visually verified or determined through 'simple' physical analysis, will be confirmed when the vendor supplies documentary evidence. Unless otherwise stated, at no time will such documentary evidence imply PAPIS approval of documents.

The inspector typically performs the following operations:

1. Inspect carriers to verify suitability for receiving the intended cargo; check cleanliness, dryness, ventilation, cargo separation, etc.
2. Report how and when goods were loaded and exact location (stowage) in receiving carrier; discuss with vessel matters of stability, angle of repose, flow moisture point, shifting boards, etc.
3. Immediately report from the job site to the appropriate office any abnormalities such as damage, loss of material, improper stowing, delays in loading, etc.; cameras may be used to document the circumstances
4. Maintain a time log which should include time and date of loading, loading delays and reason for delays, description of loading gear/apparatus, weather conditions, rainfall, dust suppression, wind-waste, remainder on wharf, etc
