The primary function of official oil inspection is to facilitate the marketing and sale of oil by providing accurate and consistent inspection and weighing information that describes the quantity and quality of oil being bought and sold.

To avoid misunderstandings or claims and disputes between contractual trade partners, which can be related to the agreed parameters of traded goods or commodities, it is beneficial to have additional supporting documents from independent and professional inspection company.

Inspection (survey) services can be described as an independent professional control of the quality and quantity of goods and commodities during various logistic operations of export and import.

It is a standard for international judicial and arbitrage practices as well as for insurance companies to use services of independent inspection companies (surveyors), as a third party which is often called in arbitration cases as a witness or professional independent expert.

Often, the presence of a specialist at the inspection site with professional knowledge and many years of experience can prevent attempts at any illegal manipulation of the oil.

Competent inspectors of CISS GROUP carry out all the necessary measurements and calculations, promptly informing their clients about any contractual violations, inconsistencies or damages observed.

They provide photo and video evidence, and other documentary support of the logistic process and produce detailed inspection report or certificate. If any non-compliance with contract specification, or a threat to the safety or damage of the cargo is observed our inspectors notify our clients immediately on 24/7 bases and proper action to avoid or limit the damages is advised and implemented.
