Our values:
The profession of sworn brokers with the Court of Appeal is governed by the August 19th, 1994 decree, defining stringent rules of behavior and integrity. Because of their specific legal background and knowledge of cargo, sworn brokers are regularly appointed as court experts, situation in which their probity and integrity is the guarantee of their independence.
These values have been passed on to our teams. This enable us to guarantee to our Principals an efficient technical work as well as swift and reliable information. They are then able to make the most of our reports.
