What Are Cargo P&I (Protection and Indemnity) Inspections?
Cargo P&I (Protection and Indemnity) Inspections, also known as Insurance Inspections, are detailed surveys conducted on behalf of a cargo owner’s insurance company. These inspections assess the risks associated with insuring cargo during transportation by evaluating:
-
- Cargo Condition: Identifying pre-existing damages or vulnerabilities.
- Packaging and Stowage: Ensuring cargo is packaged and stored properly to prevent damage.
- Transport Documents: Reviewing documentation to confirm accuracy and compliance.
- Transport Vessel: Assessing the vessel’s condition, cargo-handling equipment, and crew competency.
The goal is to identify potential risks, mitigate those risks, and provide insurers with the information they need to set appropriate premiums and coverage terms.
