Quantity surveyors in Dubai: Our Independent Ship & Marine Surveyors did at the request of the correspondents, attend at the consignee’s warehouse in order to carry out a survey of 2 Nos. of crates that were reported to damaged.

The Quantity surveyors from Constellation attended the survey at the consignee’s warehouse at Al Awir, Ras al Khor industrial area), met the representative of the consignee and carried out the survey of 2 film faced plywood crates that were reported to be damaged, on January 2014.
At the time of inspection, the surveyors noticed that the 2 Nos. of quantity damaged crates were stacked high on their premises. They noted that the cargo was stored in an open condition and it was found that all the packages were partly wet due to the rain that had occurred in the region over the past 2-3 days.
The constellation quantity surveyors wrote down the details derived from the marking on the crates.
