Joint surveys / expert attendance

In some matters, it is important that the cargo, damage or relevant circumstances are inspected in the presence of multiple parties or their representatives.

Joint surveys can help establish a shared factual basis at an early stage and reduce later disagreement as to what was visible or recorded at the time.

We provide independent and practical attendance in support of such matters.

What joint survey attendance may include

Depending on the matter, attendance may involve:

  • inspection in the presence of multiple parties
  • condition recording
  • photo documentation
  • notation of visible damage, packing, storage or handling circumstances
  • recording of available statements or positions where appropriate
  • issue of survey report for the appointing party

Our role is not to replace party representatives, but to provide professional attendance and factual documentation.

Expert attendance and case support

Some matters require more structured or technically focused attendance, especially where the facts may later become important for liability, recovery or dispute handling.

In such cases, we can provide expert attendance support aimed at documenting the factual position clearly and professionally.

Clear and practical survey work

Joint surveys often involve commercial sensitivity and differing positions between parties. We therefore aim to keep attendance professional, factual and practical, focusing on what can actually be observed and documented at the time.
