CARGO SURVEY REPORTING FOR LOADING & DISCHARGING SURVEY

Loading and discharging is not only a question of monitoring whether the goods that are inspected during the pre-shipment inspection are loaded accordingly, but that they are also handled with care.
Benefits include:
Securing proper loading and discharging procedures
Ascertaining proper lashing and securing of the cargo
Reduction of damage or loss of goods during shipment
Supervision during transhipment to assure security so that what comes out also goes in

Our attending supercargo for heavy lift operation would address the following points with the vessel Master / Chief Officer and crane operators before any heavy lift operations. Tool Box meeting is an essential part to heavy lift operations where all parties are made known of the lifting arrangement including the mode and chain of communication during the entire lifting operations.

Our competent and experience Supercargo would go through the vessel’s initial stability corrected for free surfaces, vessel should not encounter list which exceed 5° at any time of the operations and adequate ballast capacity for the entire operations. Our heavy lift operational checklist which would cover the entire aspect of the loading /discharging operations would be discussed with the vessel master prior the operations and most importantly the entire operations should comply with the vessel company’s regulations.

The Surveyor should make his presence known to the Master, or his representative, before starting any on board survey work. He is also reminded that he should at all times observe local port/terminal and ship’s safety regulations. In the absence of such regulations the Surveyor shall carry out the survey following best safety practices. It is NOT necessary to survey cargo described on Bills of Lading as “scrap”,”slabs” or “billets” etcs (anything destined to be re-processed). Mounted and labeled conventional colour photographs (originals only) of cargo damage and general aspects of the cargo are required.

The Surveyor is to report the condition of the cargo prior to shipment and assist the Master in clausing of Mates Receipts/Bills of Lading to reflect accurately the condition of the cargo. If moisture, rust or suspicion of salt contamination is present before loading, a test for salt should be conducted and reported. If a test result is positive (if cargo was pre-carried by sea or by salted road in winter), ensure Mate’s Receipts I Bills of Lading are claused with the terms “chloride contamination present at loading”.
