Independent Inspection & Custody Transfer

Transparent, accurate, and fully independent inspection services at all Unlimited Logistics B.V. terminal locations — ensuring your product quantity and quality is verified to your exact requirements.

Inspection You Can Rely On

Accurate, independent product inspection is critical to every custody transfer transaction in the petroleum industry. Disputes over product quantity or quality at the terminal can result in significant financial losses and operational delays. Our approach is to eliminate ambiguity through rigorous inspection procedures, certified instrumentation, and transparent documentation.

Unlimited Logistics B.V. operates a fully open-access inspection regime. We actively welcome independent inspectors on behalf of buyers, sellers, banks, and insurers at all stages of product receipt, storage, and delivery. Our facilities are designed to accommodate concurrent multi-party inspections safely and efficiently.

Our team of trained terminal operators works alongside independent inspectors to provide all necessary access, documentation, and cooperation. Tank gauging records, pump meter readings, temperature data, and laboratory test results are all made available to authorised parties in real time.
