Independent Marine Surveyors

Cargo Inspection Rotterdam

Ruswal Global provides independent cargo inspection services, covering quantity and quality verification for bulk, breakbulk and containerised cargo. As an independent cargo surveyor in Rotterdam, we offer unbiased reporting for traders, recyclers, shipping companies and industrial clients.

With a local surveyor in one of Europe's busiest ports, we deliver fast response and competitive rates. Whether you need loading supervision, a draft survey, or a bunker survey, we are ready to assist.

Why Rotterdam?

The port of Rotterdam handles over 1,200 vessel calls per year, with container volumes exceeding 7 million TEUs in the first half of 2025. Current congestion means turnaround times can be unpredictable. Having a marine surveyor based locally saves time and travel costs, and allows you to react quickly to changes.

Our surveyors know Portbase and the State Inspection Terminal (S.I.T.). This ensures smooth coordination and fewer delays.
