Loading and unloading supervision refers to the monitoring and authentication of the loading and unloading of goods on transportation vehicles, primarily related to the inspection of cargo for marine cargo insurance. Due to the various reasons for the loss of goods during the transportation of import and export cargo, the situations can be quite complex. Some of these losses may be attributed to foreign shippers, while also involving the responsibilities of foreign or domestic carriers and other third parties. Sometimes, ethical considerations may even come into play. Additionally, it is necessary to determine whether it falls within the scope of insurance liability. Therefore, the division of responsibility and the estimation of the extent of the loss are crucial in this process.
The main tasks of loading and unloading supervision are to inspect whether the transportation of goods complies with the provisions of the trade contract and to ensure an accurate assessment of the loss and its causes. This enables an objective estimation of the extent of the loss and helps differentiate the responsibilities of the shipper, carrier, other third parties, and the insurer. It provides a basis for insurance companies to handle claims accurately, promptly, and reasonably.
