Guidelines for surveyors of refrigerated cargoes in refrigerated ships and trailers are now available for free download in a move that International Cold Chain Technology (ICCT) members hope will aid surveyors in collecting the information that may be needed when dealing with subsequent claims.

The guidelines, which can be printed out or used electronically, will take the form of two separate documents, one for reefers and the second for containers and trailers.

Each document contains a checklist of information to be recorded, followed by an explanatory narrative. The guidelines are available at www.crtech.co.uk/icct.
