Damage Survey
A Damage Survey is an independent inspection conducted after a shipment arrives at its destination to assess damage to the cargo. This is essential when goods arrive in poor condition, spoiled, broken, or non-compliant, especially for sensitive shipments like fruits, vegetables, frozen items, food & non-food products, plants, and perishables.
At Vertic Arabia, we offer rapid-response damage inspection services at ports, warehouses, or final delivery points across Saudi Arabia.

- Temperature-Sensitive Goods
Evaluate signs of temperature abuse in perishables (fruits, vegetables, frozen food, plants, etc.).
