Supercargo & Cargo Supervision
An experienced supercargo attending loading and discharge on the owner's or charterer's behalf.
Overview
A supercargo is your representative for the cargo. We attend the vessel during loading and discharge to make sure the cargo goes on board, is stowed and secured, and comes off the way the charter party and the shipper's instructions say it should.
You get an independent eye on the operation, problems raised while they can still be fixed, and a clear record if a claim follows.
