UNIS INSPECTIONS provides independent steel pre-load surveys in Constanta, Romania. We inspect steel products in port storage areas and warehouses before shipment, documenting their apparent condition, surface rust, visible damage and packaging defects.

Our findings give clients a documented record of cargo condition before loading. We prepare recommended cargo remarks for Mate's Receipts and Bills of Lading and monitor loading operations to record any additional damage observed during handling.
