• Whether the cargo should be inspected on the quay / berthing yard just before loading or in the transit shed or elsewhere prior to the ship’s arrival ect.

• The nature of the cargo and time factor will probably determine this. In many cases the owners, charterer or ship’s agent will not know where the cargo is stored in the port or when it is to be delivered. In this case AIM Control’s surveyors should be instructed to survey all of cargo to be loaded as near to the time of shipment as possible.

• Information to be given to Master before the signing of the Mate’s receipts and whether AIM Control’s surveyors should formulate suitable clauses relating to any damage. Usually AIM Control’s surveyors should be instructed to be present  when the master signs the shipping documents.
