Our surveyors
handing this kind of work are all well experienced in the
dunnaging, loading and stowing of bagged rice, including the
construction of air channels (trenches). They are provided with
good quality moisture meters for random checking of the cargo and
have special mobile phones (MMS system) with which they can take
photographs of anything of particular interest and transmit them
direct to similar unit in this office from where they can be down-loaded
to a computer and sent to the Principals by email.
Our moisture meters are regularly checked and calibrated by
comparison with samples tested in our infra-red oven. We have 2 of
these ovens for double checking.

Bagged sugar does

great care must be taken to ensure that there is no caking of the
cargo in the bags and that the bags are clean. It is essential
that the Surveyors and tallymen are reliable and well-experienced
