Fruit & Vegetables

 

Problems arise when fruit and vegetable cargoes have spolied in transit due to :

• Unacceptable temperature fluctuations during the voyage or overland transit
  (as recorded by data loggers or recorders)
  
• Complete breakdown of refrigeration machinery
  
• Overturned trailer on the road which requires a ‘cross-stuffing’ operation
  (i.e. from one refridgerated trailer to another refridgerated trailer)
  
• Post harvest diseases and disorders
  
  

MCE's consultants are then called in to deal with any Claims Investigation. Our final report will typically include one or more of the following :

• Thorough review of all pre-load, load passage and arrival/transit documentation
  
• Investigation of the cause(s), nature, and extent of any claim including photographic evidence
