Key Aspects and Types of Damage
When transporting goods over both short and long distances, situations often arise where the cargo may be damaged. Cargo damage assessment plays a crucial role in determining liability for the damage and resolving financial issues between parties. In this article, we will explore various types of damage, including malicious acts, natural disasters, and inadequate packaging and securing of the cargo.
To start performing his duties, an inspector needs to identify the type of damage. Then, an action plan is developed. If the cargo has been damaged due to exposure to water, a specialist must conduct a test to determine the concentration of salt. Damaged cargo is charged to the carrier if the water that soaked the cargo turns out to be salty. If the test for sea salt shows a negative result, the expert will conduct further investigations to identify the cause of the cargo's wetting and damage. There are cases where cargo damage occurs even before loading onto the ship during transportation. Cargo is transported by road using trucks or by rail using freight trains to reach the port. When transporting food products or other goods sensitive to storage and transportation conditions, research related to storage conditions is conducted. This includes checking compliance with temperature regimes, conformity of packaging to transportation requirements, etc. Failure to comply with these conditions during transportation leads to food products becoming unfit for consumption. The specialist evaluates the damage comprehensively. If you need a cargo damage assessment service, please fill out the form below.
Malicious Acts
One type of damage commonly encountered by carriers is damage caused by malicious acts. This can include cases of theft of cargo parts, damage caused in attempts to penetrate packaging to search for valuable items, or unauthorized access to the cargo.
Natural Disasters, Hurricanes
Another common source of damage to cargo is natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, etc. In such situations, cargo can be subjected to various types of damage, including package ruptures, container damage, as well as physical damage to the goods themselves.
Assessing the damage caused by natural disasters requires extensive knowledge of the nature and mechanisms of various natural phenomena. It also includes evaluating measures to protect cargo and choosing transportation routes considering climatic risks.

Inadequate Packaging and Insecure Fastening
Often, cargo is damaged due to inadequate packaging and insecure fastening. Improperly packaged goods may be at risk of damage during transport due to improper weight distribution, insufficient protection against impacts, and vibration.
Assessing such damage involves analyzing the condition of the packaging and fastening systems, as well as evaluating their compliance with safety requirements and transportation regulations.
