Setting out the duties of Superintendents

FOSFA International Superintendent members carry out inspections, sampling, quality assessments, and examination of goods to ensure they are traded in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract.

The Code of Practice sets out the tasks and functions superintendents will carry out for shore installations and on board ships in relation to oils and fats, oilseeds and groundnuts. It also provides useful information to others involved in the trade about the role and responsibilities of Superintendents.
