BQCIS

Independent Cargo Oversight for Seamless Trade

Cargo handling at loading and discharge ports is a critical stage in the supply chain where errors in quantity or quality can lead to financial losses.

BQCIS offers impartial supervision services to ensure that goods are properly loaded, stowed, and discharged under compliant procedures. Our inspectors monitor the entire operation to confirm cargo identification, count, weight, and physical condition before sealing the shipment.

We provide real-time documentation, digital photos, and certified reports to help clients mitigate demurrage claims, cargo disputes, and loss events during maritime and inland logistics.

Success Story

Supervising Bulk Grain Discharge in the Middle East

The Challenge:

A vessel carrying 40,000 MT of wheat faced claim risks due to suspected loss during unloading caused by spillage and unrecorded discharge.

Our Solution:

BQCIS deployed surveyors to supervise the entire discharge process, monitor draft surveys, record tally counts, and sample moisture levels.

The Result:

The final report showed less than 0.05% deviation in weight compared to the bill of lading, eliminating a $250,000 dispute with the importer.
