Technology
is heavily integrated into our operation as we have
always tried to remain at the forefront. Digital
Photography enables us to immediately transmit photographs
of casualties to overseas clients through the internet.
Throughout each assignment, our surveyors stay in
contact with base by mobile telephones and modem
communications. Outside the range of mobile telephone
transmissions VHF radios are used.
We employ a full range of
survey devices to ensure the job is completed
as best and accurately as possible.
Our ultrasonic hatch cover
testing device permits the convenient testing of
hatch covers while cargo remains on board. Ultrasonics
are also employed in the form of steel plate thickness
gauging tools.
Digital Fan Wheel Anemometer
A specially calibrated digital fan-wheel
anemometer enables us to measure the airflows through
cargo holds prior to loading perishable products.
Our other devices allow us to test
cargoes of all types using refrigeration spear themometers,
grain temperature, moisture and humidity meters.
Tank Contents Sampling Device
We can take samples
of liquid cargoes from any depth using a chromium steel
tank contents sampling device.
We have arrangements with approved chemical
laboratories for further testing of cargo samples in
the form of chemical analysis of petroleum products.
We also have contact with insect experts for identification
in cargo infestation cases. Additionally we have contact
with Agronomists for advice regarding Agricultural Cargoes.
Our office computers are the latest technology
including colour printers, cdr recorders and scanners.
We have currently scanned the first 11 years of our
records onto cd rom for convenient storage.
