What Are Loading Surveys?
A Loading Survey is a crucial process that ensures the safe, compliant, and efficient transfer of cargo from land to a vessel, barge, or other installation.
This meticulous process provides independent oversight over all critical aspects of the loading operation, including the proper handling of containers, the securing of cargo, and the condition of hatch covers where applicable.
Key aspects of the process include:
- Inspection, Review, and Oversight: Verifying lifting procedures, securing methods, stowage plans, RoRo procedures, mooring arrangements, and equipment certifications.
- Condition, Quantity, and Specifications: Inspecting and documenting cargo condition, dimensions, and weight to confirm compliance with project records.
By creating a comprehensive safety net, we protect personnel, cargo, and equipment, minimizing risks throughout the entire operation.
