Our brand is one of our main reasons for pride and its history symbolises nothing less than the expectations of our principals in relation to us as a superintendence company and our commitment to the multidisciplinary nature of our activities.

When hiring our services, our principals place their trust in our competence and their hope that, under our eyes, their cargo will be characterised, handled and transported in a professional, safe and responsible manner.

At this point, our eyes become the eyes of our principals, who most of the time are miles away from the inspection site.

The magnifying glass format contextualized with the acronym “CQ” symbolises our recognition and commitment to meet the expectations of our principals and to evaluate, with amplified and dedicated visual acuity, all contractual aspects of their goods.

The red colour symbolises our intention to make history in the segment, the same red color that was perpetuated in the hulls of merchant vessels reminding the use of reddish copper paints in hulls of wooden vessels in the nineteenth century.

Gray represents a yet uncharted territory and reminds us on a daily basis that, no matter how much we have grown or how far we have come, we will always be ready for new challenges.

“Harvesting Results”

With our clients we have learned that sowing is a fundamental step in the productivity of their crops. We have learnt how to sow. Not seeds or seedlings, but commitment, dedication, resources and a lot of work. And while our customers trust us with their crops, we trust them with our results.

Our commitment to the impartiality and assertiveness of our results goes beyond our professional dedication. In order to guarantee the highest technical levels of our operations and to add value to our clients’ businesses, our activities are monitored, governed, evaluated and audited by independent national and international bodies throughout the year, namely:
