What Are Load In Surveys?
A load in survey is a critical procedure, essential for ensuring the safe, efficient, and compliant unloading of cargo, particularly when dealing with complex logistics. This multifaceted process encompasses a detailed on-site examination and verification protocol, conducted by our experienced professionals.
- Inspection, Review, and Oversight: Assessing lifting procedures, securing methods, stowage plans, and equipment checks to ensure safe handling of oversized, heavy, or unconventional cargo.
- Condition and Quantity Verification: Documenting cargo as it is unloaded from a vessel to its final destination, confirming that its condition, dimensions, and specifications match original records.
By creating a comprehensive safety net, our load in surveys verify cargo integrity before, during, and after transit. Our approach ensures a smooth, secure, and incident-free process for our clients, safeguarding their valuable assets and minimizing potential liabilities.
