Marine Surveying and Cargo Surveying is essential to the Shipping industry. Inspections and reports state the case as to when a damage or loss occurs so that Principals and Consignee are directed as where and how to claim for damages and loss when matters go wrong in transit and also to enhance the situation for loss prevention.

A Marine surveyor ("Hull & Machinery Surveyor" and/or "Cargo Surveyor") is a person who conducts inspections, surveys or examinations of marine vessels to assess, monitor and report on their condition and the products on them, as well as inspects damage caused to both vessels and cargo.

The basic function of a Marine Cargo Surveyor is to inspect and report on damage to transported goods for insurance purposes.  The wider role, however, also covers the loading and securing of cargoes and inspection of the discharge of cargoes and also risk assessments for transporting and storing cargoes.

CJA’s skills and knowledge underpinning cargo surveying will be useful in a broad range of roles, applications and functions relating to the carriage of goods such as:

• Loss prevention
• Cargo planning
• Risk assessment
• Claims handling
• Vessel inspection
• Cargo handling, stowage and securing
• Stevedoring
• Damage assessment
• Incident investigation
• Health and safety
• Ship operations

The Company was established in 1999 by Mr Chris D’ Almeida who began his career as a marine and cargo surveyor in 1980 and is today an expert in his field of work  backed with phenomenal experience in  marine cargo surveying work. He has carved a well reputed name as marine cargo surveyor in Singapore and in the Asia Pacific Region partnering him in CJA Marine Services Pte Ltd is the resourceful, robust and energetic Mr C.

Transportation of Cargo around the globe is a tedious difficult and complex process whether by air, land or sea or all or any of the three named methods. It is invariably true that at any stage of the transit chain cargo will inevitably be exposed to risks such as

• Physical loss or damage;
• Cargo crime - e.g. theft/pilferage;
• Changes in climatic conditions;
• Political / socio economic conditions of the country of shipment / delivery / transshipment;
• Natural calamities such as typhoons, etc.

Identification and assessment of the above risks is therefore essential to the development of a cargo risk management strategy which we at CJA Marine Services Pte Ltd are adept and equipped to provide.

Why choose CJA Marine Services Pte Ltd?

We provide a no-nonsense, fuss-free quality service with total commitment to our principals' needs.

Qualified Staff

One of the most important aspects of our Company which we pride ourselves on is our conscious, ongoing effort to equip our Company with qualified and experienced staff to meet the diverse demands of our principals. Our principals are therefore always assured of the competency of our surveyors in the task undertaken.

Should the scope of the survey fall outside the ambit of expertise of our surveyors, our principals will certainly be informed and notified. If necessary, we will engage a surveyor with the appropriate expertise and qualifications from our specially screened and selected panel of surveyors to carry out the task at hand.

As a responsible Company, we stress the point that under no circumstances will we compromise our principals' position by embarking on a survey which falls outside the perimeters of expertise of our surveyors. We certainly do not want a situation whereby our principals' expectations invariably exceed the capabilities of our surveyor. Thus, when a task is assigned and undertaken by us, our principals' confidence in our competency in fulfilling our principals' needs is not of questionable issue.

Professionalism

At present, we understand that there is no governing body to regulate the quality of surveyors in the marine industry nor are there any standards which surveyors need to adhere to whether in terms of methodology of investigation, report writing, presentation or code of practice. Besides our Company's policy in providing competent and reliable surveyors, CJA Marine Services Pte Ltd prides itself with the on-going vigilance in ensuring that the standards we set must correspond with the far from stagnant marine industry's developments.
