RO Discuss your operation

Independent surveying,
inspection and verification

We inspect
what
matters.

Grain and oilseeds, at vessel, barge, silo and truck. We sample, weigh, inspect holds and attend operations in Constanța and the Danube ports, under the GAFTA and FOSFA rules, and we put the result on paper with everything it needs to hold up.

01 — What we verify

Four questions
every cargo raises.

How much there is, what it is, what condition it is in, and what happened to it during the operation. Each has a service, a method and a document at the end.

01 Quantity

How much cargo actually went into the ship?

Draft survey of vessels and barges, with the whole calculation in the report. Supervised weighing on the terminal's scale. Stock measurement in silos and warehouses, including monthly collateral checks for the bank.

02 Quality

What is in the cargo, and how did it get onto the certificate?

Sampling throughout the operation, to GAFTA 124 for grain and the FOSFA Code for oilseeds, with joint sealing. Analyses are carried out by third-party laboratories; we answer for the sample.

03 Condition

Is the hold fit to load? Did the cargo arrive as it left?

Hold and hatch inspection before loading, with a cleanliness certificate and photographs. Findings at discharge: water, condensation, heating. Sealing and unsealing of holds, wagons and containers.

04 Operations

What happened on the quay while you were somewhere else?

A surveyor on the quay from the first grab to the last, with an operations log: times, holds, quantities per shift, stoppages, rain, separations. Daily report and final report.

02 — Why an independent surveyor

The seller has one scale.
The buyer has another.

The difference between them is an invoice in dispute. The independent surveyor is the third person on the quay: sampling and weighing to published rules — GAFTA for grain, FOSFA for oilseeds — and signing for what was found. That report is the one read at arbitration.

We hold no interest in the goods we inspect.
That is the point of us.

01

Precision

Every figure in the report has a method and a source: the rule it was sampled under, the seal, the scale, the draught read.

02

Independence

We are appointed by one side, but we sign what we found. A certificate that says what the client wanted is worth nothing at arbitration.

03

Reliability

The surveyor is there when the operation starts, not afterwards. What could not be seen or sampled is written down, not left out.

03 — What goes into the report

What was seen.
What it was measured with.
What could not be verified.

A good report is still readable two years later, by someone who was not there. So we put in it the start time, the seal numbers, the rule the sample was drawn under, the scale, the dated photographs — and the hold nobody could get into.

04 — Where we work

Constanța, the Danube
and the silos in between.

The office is in the Port of Constanța, but most of the work is at Galați, Brăila, Giurgiu, Calafat, Călărași and in the silos and warehouses of 19 counties in the south and east of Romania.

Tell us the place and the date; most of the time we confirm on the spot.
