Intertek accredited as a bulk and break bulk cargo surveyor by the Government of the Philippines
Intertek is now an accredited surveyor for all non-containerised cargo destined for the Philippines, which must, under new government legislation, be inspected at the port of origin.
All bulk and break bulk cargo shipments are now required to undergo an inspection for quality, quantity and dutiable value. David Gregory, Vice President of Intertek’s Government Services, said: “Intertek has a proven track record in working with Governments to help them streamline their import processes. We are delighted to have been awarded this accreditation and look forward to working with the Government of the Philippines.” Jay Gutierrez, Chief Executive for the Government Services and Oil, Chemical and Agri Divisions, said: “Intertek’s global services network, located in over 100 nations, supports this program, helping the Philippine government to ensure products imported from around the world are delivered in good order to the people of the Philippines.” Intertek provides inspection programmes for Governments worldwide, and has issued over 1.5 million test reports and certificates to global exporters to ensure that their goods clear customs smoothly.

Intermodal transportation: The next wave?
 Holidays are almost over, for those lucky enough to go on vacation. I spent my time away from the sea, and well above sea level. Just for reassurance. As you might know, the majority of Dutch grounds are below sea level (about 65%), and we keep dry feet by pumping water. Without that, we would build our sandcastle around "Amersfoort at the Sea" (a city some 80km inland).
However, spending time in the Alps, some 800m above sea level, my rectangular box driven mind did not come to a complete standstill, wondering about hinterland transportation.
