Over 80% of everything you buy has spent time on a ship. That's a lot of cargo crossing a lot of ocean, and not all of it arrives exactly as it left.
When bulk liquids like palm oil travel across the world in large tankers, even a small quantity difference between what was loaded and what arrives can mean a significant financial dispute between buyers and sellers. Tiny measurement gaps, temperature changes during the voyage, and the natural behavior of liquids in transit can all create discrepancies.
That's where comes in. Through the Full Outturn Guarantee program, Intertek independently verifies cargo quantities at both ends of the journey, when it loads and when it lands. If a covered shortage is confirmed, businesses have documented evidence to support their claim.
In plain terms, it helps make sure what was paid for is what actually arrives, and that there is a clear, independent record if it is not.
