Mission
To provide independent, reliable technical solutions, turning field experience into information, attendance and technical support that help our clients make decisions.
Independent technical representation
Where the client cannot be, RS can be there.
Marine surveys, operations attendance and technical consulting in Brazil, to support your decisions.
How RS works
RS does not operate the cargo. It observes, records and reports.
Independence is what gives the information its value. RS attends the operation to protect the client's interests, not those of the terminal or of whoever handles the cargo.
- 01
Observe
Alongside, on board, at the terminal or in the warehouse, checking vessel, cargo and facilities where the operation takes place.
- 02
Record
Photographs, samples, incidents and deviations, documented on site.
- 03
Report
Clear, independent technical information for the client to decide, negotiate or defend a position.
20+ years in port and warehouse operations
Technical support for P&I correspondents
