Our origins date back to 1979 when Dr. J. A. Barreiro & Assocs., Cargo Inspection Service was founded in Caracas, Venezuela, successfully serving P&I correspondents, shipping lines, ship owners, charterers, cargo underwriters, exporters, importers and maritime lawyers. After almost 40 years of national and international experience with professional consultation on maritime transportation, specialized cargo inspections, claim investigations, risk management and scientific advice in legal cases, the cargo inspection service expanded operations to U.S.A. and Europe, as Cargo Inspection Service L.L.C., operating from New Jersey, U.S.A. and Valencia, Spain, serving the Valencian Community and the rest of the world.

Our associates have high level academic qualifications (Ph.D., M.S., MSEE) in food science, chemical, industrial and electrical engineering and are bilingual English-Spanish.

Our reports are written in English or Spanish, at client's request. Preliminary reports for surveys are usually presented within 24 hours after the inspection and final reports delivered promptly, usually in less than 72 hours after finishing the work and/or after having lab analyses results available if applies.
