DAMAGE SURVEY IN CONSTANTA
Independent Investigation of Maritime Accidents
UNIS INSPECTIONS provides independent damage surveys in Constanta, Romania, for owners, charterers, insurers, P&I Clubs and cargo interests. We inspect vessels, cargo, equipment and shore facilities following reported accidents or incidents to assess the apparent extent of damage and document the findings.
Our surveys provide clients with a factual record to support claims handling and technical investigations. Depending on the agreed scope, we measure damaged areas, review available records and collect photographic and witness evidence to help clarify the circumstances of the incident.
