Elite Road Freight Claims Adjusting & Cargo Surveys Nationwide
While deeply rooted in maritime logistics, Samer & Misa Sh.p.k. operates as the premiere inland transit security provider in Albania. Utilizing our prestigious appointments as the exclusive national Lloyd’s Agent (since 1994) and European Average Agent, we deliver authoritative, independent road transit surveys and CMR liability adjusting. Headquartered at the central transport gateway of Durrës, our cargo survey division is strategically positioned to respond immediately to inland shipping terminals, customs warehouses, and road accident scenes throughout the country.
We provide a comprehensive suite of cargo loss prevention and damage mitigation services for international logistics providers, domestic trucking fleets, and leading European cargo underwriters. Our certified surveyors execute rigorous truck and container audits, verify high-security bolt seals, review temperature-controlled reefer log sheets, and assess structural transport damage under strict CMR Convention guidelines. In the event of a road transit incident, we act decisively, coordinating secure cargo transfers, repackaging, and commercial salvage to minimize financial exposure for our principals.

FAQs
A CMR survey is an official, independent investigation into cargo damage or loss occurring during international road carriage. Because Samer & Misa is the exclusive appointed Lloyd's Agent for Albania, our physical survey findings, photographic evidence, and liability opinions are highly respected. They are automatically accepted by European cargo underwriters, transport liability clubs, and international courts when resolving CMR disputes.

Yes, absolutely. Cold-chain claims require specialized technical expertise. Our cargo surveyors inspect frozen, chilled, and pharmaceutical goods immediately upon arrival or incident notification.
