Inspections, testing & monitoring

Peterson coordinates a broad range of inspection, testing and monitoring activities across both cargo handling and industrial environments. This includes inspections of bulk commodities during handling and storage, as well as specialised services for assets, installations and operational conditions, executed in collaboration with independent partners such as Control Union.

    Cargo inspections

    Cargo inspections verify cargo and vessel condition, quality, quantities and compliance during loading, discharge and storage. By aligning these activities with port operations and logistics planning, Peterson supports smooth execution, reduces disruptions and enables timely decision-making.

    Industrial inspections


    Peterson also connects organisations to specialised industrial inspection services delivered by
    Control Union.

    These services provide technical insights into assets, installations and operational environments, supporting long-term reliability, compliance and risk management.

    Monitoring services focus on continuous insight into the condition of assets, structures and inventories. These services include Structural Asset Condition Audits (SCA) and health monitoring of steel structures, enabling organisations to track performance over time and identify deviations at an early stage.

    Asset integrity services focus on the inspection and assessment of installations and components to support long-term reliability. This includes non-destructive testing (NDT), inspections of pressure systems, drilling and handling equipment (API 7 & 8), DROPS inspections, heliport inspections and rope access inspections.

    Offshore inspections address the requirements of offshore environments, where safety and compliance are critical. Services include inspections of lifting equipment (EKH / LOLER), tank containers (IMDG / ADR / RID), safe transfer baskets, and structural elements such as drilling structures (API 4) and storage systems.

    Work equipment inspections support safe use of critical tools and installations in operational environments. Services include inspections of offshore containers, offshore cranes, fall protection systems (EKH / NEN‑EN 365), ladders and scaffolding (NEN 2484 / EN 1004) and electrical installations (NEN 3140 / NEN 1010).
