YOUR RELIABLE PARTNER FOR MARINE AND CARGO SURVEYORS IN
MOROCCO
Responsibilities of the Surveyor:
The surveyor uses technical
skills to establish the cause of loss or damage,
assess the degree of damage and provide a complete picture of the situation
in a report. This will include suitable recommendations as to minimising or
making good the damage, and if necessary, recommendations of the best market
for damaged goods, should a sale become necessary. Overall the report should
enable the insurer to properly consider whether the loss or damage is
covered by the policy conditions, as well as determining if there is a third
party involved, who could be held liable. Very often this is the shipping
company, the airline or the road carrier. The surveyor is often seen as a
trouble shooter. Many consignees who receive damaged goods assume that
because they are insured they can abandon the goods to the surveyor, in the
mistaken belief that the surveyor is the insurer's representative. It is the
surveyor's job to determine and report upon the cause and extent of loss or
damage.
