What is SA Cargo?

SA Cargo is a platform that standardises and connects the cargo claims process through structured survey workflows, vetted surveyor networks, expert validation, and real-time visibility of case progress and outcomes.

SA Cargo is used to coordinate cargo-related claims from incident to resolution. This includes:

  • Coordinating surveys
  • Submit structured survey reports as claim evidence
  • Uploading and organising supporting documentation (photos, container data, incident evidence)
  • Maintaining real-time visibility of claim status, updates, and developments
  • Communicating with stakeholders
  • Validating findings
  • Accessing historical claim and survey data

SA Cargo is for stakeholders involved in cargo claims handling, including shipping lines, freight forwarders, P&I Clubs, insurers, terminals, and marine surveyors who need consistent, reliable, and structured information to manage cargo-related incidents and outcomes.

Traditional claim handling is fragmented, email-driven, and dependent on inconsistent reports and manual coordination. SA Cargo replaces it with a digital-first, standardised process supported by:

  • A global network of vetted surveyors
  • Real-time visibility across every port
  • Automated workflows and quality checks
  • Predictive insights for operational and loss prevention decisions

By using standardised reporting formats, unified workflows, automated quality checks, and expert review flows. This ensures consistent, high-quality results regardless of surveyor or location.
