Car and Vehicle Inspections
Supporting the automotive logistics industry with vehicle inspections and terminal surveys in all major ports
Hundreds of thousands of vehicles are transported by sea every year. Many thousands of them are damaged while en route. Car manufacturers, terminal operators, logistics providers and shipping companies all benefit from knowing exactly what happened, when and how. Which is why vehicle inspections are essential at various stages of the transport chain, including at all major automotive hubs.
