Is 'considering' right? "Given the type of damage, it would be in your interest to CONSIDERING hiring a new shipping company which can provide more safer vessels." I think it should be 'consider', not 'considering'. Am I right?

As you say the correct form is 'consider' not 'considering' because the 'to' following interest is an infinitive 'to' not a preposition. 'to consider hiring a new shipping company' is an infinitive clause which modifies 'interest' . Q) 'What would be in your interest?' A) 'To consider hiring a new shipping company.' Also the comparative of 'safe' is 'safer' so you don't need to use 'more'.

best is to say: taking into account the noticeable damages to the goods, it is recommanded to consider hiring another shipping company known to provide better and safer transportation.
