Cargo Surveys, Inspections and Supply Chain Support in Germany
Independent on-site support for international buyers, insurers, logistics providers and project organizations.
About
I am Andreas Dausacker, an independent cargo surveyor and claims specialist with more than 15 years of experience in freight forwarding, foreign trade, international logistics and supply chain management.
Cargo CSI provides reliable facts, clear documentation and practical support when goods are purchased, inspected, transported or delivered in Germany – and when international projects or supply chains require experienced local coordination.
Services
Consulting
Understand supply chains. Develop practical solutions.
Consulting and project-related support for international supply chains, logistics and project operations.
I support clients when processes become unstable, information is missing, deadlines are at risk or coordination between suppliers, logistics providers and project stakeholders needs to be improved.
Typical assignments include project logistics, supplier coordination, transport management, document reviews and the stabilization of critical supply chain processes.
Survey
Establish the facts. Assess cargo damage.
Independent inspection, documentation and assessment of transport and cargo damage.
Cargo CSI records the condition of the goods, packaging, handling and available transport information. Findings are documented through photographs and a structured written report, clearly separating observed facts from professional assessment.
Services can include on-site damage inspections, initial cause analysis and reports for insurers, logistics providers, shippers, consignees and other involved parties.
Inspections
Inspect. Document. Create certainty.
Independent inspections of goods, packaging and loading operations in Germany.
Cargo CSI acts as a reliable local representative for international buyers, sellers and other clients who cannot attend an inspection or loading operation themselves.
Services can include:
-
Pre-shipment inspections
-
Loading and unloading inspections
-
Verification of goods and quantities
-
Packaging inspections
-
Container and equipment checks
-
Visual checks of cargo securing
-
Photographic documentation
-
Written inspection reports
The scope, objectives and deliverables are agreed with the client before each assignment and tailored to the specific requirements.
Solar and BESS Project Experiance
A particular focus of Cargo CSI lies on international solar and battery energy storage system projects.
My experience includes international project logistics, externally manufactured components, supplier coordination, transport planning, import and export processes, project-site deliveries and the management of critical supply chain interfaces.
This combination of industry knowledge and operational supply chain experience enables me to identify risks early and provide practical support across organizational and geographical boundaries.
Typical Assignments
Cargo CSI can support you if:
● You have purchased machinery or other goods in Germany and require an independent inspection before shipment.
● You need photographic evidence of the condition, packaging or loading of your goods.
● You want an independent representative to attend a loading or unloading operation.

Each assignment is based on a clearly agreed scope. The resulting documentation is adapted to the purpose of the inspection and the client’s requirements.
