In the marine sector, the safety, condition, and compliance of vessels and cargo are paramount. Our marine services encompass a wide range of surveys and inspections designed to safeguard your maritime operations. Whether you're transporting cargo or maintaining a fleet of vessels, our expert team ensures that every aspect of your operation runs smoothly.
Tally Surveys
Tally surveys are essential for accurate cargo management, particularly when goods are being loaded or unloaded from ships. Our team conducts meticulous tally surveys to ensure that every item is accounted for, preventing discrepancies that can lead to losses or disputes. By providing detailed reports, we help ensure that your cargo handling is efficient, reducing the risk of misplaced or unaccounted-for goods.
On-hire & Off-hire Surveys
When a vessel is chartered, it's crucial to document its condition both at the start and end of the hire period. Our on-hire and off-hire surveys provide detailed reports on the vessel's condition, ensuring that any damages incurred during the lease are clearly identified. These surveys protect both the vessel owner and the charterer, helping to avoid disputes over maintenance and repair responsibilities.
Hull & Machinery Surveys
The hull and machinery are critical components of any vessel, and regular inspections are necessary to ensure their seaworthiness. Our hull and machinery surveys provide an in-depth evaluation of a vessel's structural integrity and operational efficiency. By identifying potential issues early, we help our clients maintain their vessels in optimal condition, preventing costly repairs or accidents at sea.
Draught Surveys
Draught surveys are used to determine the weight of cargo on board a vessel by measuring the ship's draught. This process helps ensure that the vessel is not overloaded, which can compromise safety. Our draught surveys are conducted with precision, ensuring that the cargo weight is accurately calculated, and that the vessel remains compliant with legal weight limits.
Condition Surveys
Condition surveys are crucial for assessing the state of a vessel or cargo. Our condition surveys provide a thorough evaluation, ensuring that any issues are identified and addressed promptly. Whether you need to assess a vessel before purchase, during its operation, or after an incident, our surveys provide the detailed information needed to make informed decisions.
Damage of Goods Surveys
When goods are damaged during transport, a prompt and accurate assessment is essential for resolving claims. Our damage of goods surveys document the extent of the damage, providing clear evidence for claims or settlements. By offering a comprehensive evaluation, we help clients resolve disputes with carriers or insurers quickly and efficiently.
Cargo Surveys
Cargo surveys are designed to ensure that goods are in optimal condition before, during, and after transport. Our team conducts thorough inspections to verify the condition of cargo, ensuring that it is handled correctly and that any issues are addressed. These surveys help prevent claims related to damaged or mishandled goods, ensuring that your shipments arrive in perfect condition.
Pre-Loading Cargo Condition Surveys
Before cargo is loaded onto a vessel, it's essential to ensure that it is in good condition and properly prepared for transport. Our pre-loading cargo condition surveys provide a detailed assessment of the cargo, ensuring that it is ready for shipping. This helps prevent claims related to pre-existing damage and ensures that your cargo arrives at its destination safely.
Flat Rack Lashing Inspections
with Dimensions Certificates
When transporting oversized or irregular cargo on flat rack containers, proper lashing is crucial to ensure the safety of the goods. Our flat rack lashing inspections ensure that the cargo is securely lashed, and that its dimensions are accurately documented. We provide certificates that confirm compliance with safety standards, reducing the risk of damage during transit.
Open Top Containers Certificates
Open-top containers are often used for transporting bulky or oversized goods, and it's important to ensure that they are loaded and secured properly. Our open-top container certification process verifies that the cargo is packed safely and meets all required safety standards. By ensuring compliance, we help prevent accidents or damage during transport.
ISO Tank Certificates
ISO tanks are used for transporting liquids, gases, and other hazardous materials. Our certification services ensure that these tanks meet industry standards and are safe for transport. We conduct thorough inspections to verify that each tank is in good condition, helping to prevent spills, leaks, or other incidents that could compromise safety.
Reefer Container Condition Certificates
Refrigerated containers, or reefers, are used to transport perishable goods that require specific temperature conditions. Our reefer container condition certificates verify that these containers are in optimal working condition, ensuring that temperature-sensitive cargo remains preserved throughout the journey.
SOC Container Certificates
Shipper's Own Containers (SOC) must meet safety and compliance standards before being used for transport. Our SOC container certification process ensures that these containers are fit for use, reducing the risk of damage or delays during shipping. By certifying that each container meets industry standards, we help safeguard your cargo during transit.
Fumigation
Container cargo fumigation is used to eliminate pests and contaminants in shipments. It ensures compliance with import/export regulations and protects goods, especially agricultural products, wood, and packaging. Fumigants, like methyl bromide or phosphine, are applied in sealed containers to eradicate insects, rodents, and microorganisms, safeguarding the cargo during transit.
