MARINE SURVEY/ INSPECTION DURING LOADING OF HEAVY CARGO UNIT IN
EXPORT CONTAINERS
Constellation Marine Services have well trained marine cargo surveyors who can
advise the client the manner, type of stow , equipment to be used in loading the heavy
cargo unit and also the lashing /securing arrangement needed for the cargo to reach the
same safely at the destined port. The marine cargo surveyor from Constellation Marine
Services would also
monitor the loading operation to ensure the cargo unit is safely loaded into the container
without any untoward incident.
Why is a Professional & qualified Marine surveyor required?
There are many occasions where the receiver/consignee has lodged a claim against the
shipper for receiving the shipment in damaged condition at destination due to improper
stowage and failure and/or absence of securing arrangement for the cargo in the
container.
To safe guard against such claims it would be advisable to appoint an experienced
Marine Cargo Surveyors like Constellation Marine Services to carry out a cargo pre-
loading survey during loading of the cargo into the export container.
There are many cases of reporting damage to container and cargo therein occurred
during loading operation of the
container on board the ship due bad
stowage there by rejecting the container
from loading. The major damages
generally noted are deformation and the
side panels &roof panels bulging out
due to shifting of cargo and also
breaking of floor board due the weight
of the heavy cargo stored in. There are
also similar cases reporting damage
found to the container during discharge
at the destination port.
Floor Board Breached due to weight of the heavy cargo unit.
Upon nominating the job to Constellation Marine Services a well experienced marine cargo
surveyor from the Constellation Team would be appointed to attend the pre-loading cargo
survey and he would examine the condition of cargo, mode of packing and weight of the
heavy cargo to be loaded into the export container.

The marine cargo surveyor from Constellation Marine Services would also inspect the
designated container externally and
internally to ensure that the container
in total is in a sound condition to load
the heavy cargo unit. He would
specifically inspect the condition of the
floor board and lashing points available
within the container. He would
calculate the amount of dunnage
required talking into account the gross
weight of the cargo unit and load
bearing capacity of the floor board.
The marine cargo surveyor also would advise the shipper /logistic party the type of
lashing arrangement required to hold and secure the cargo in its original position in the
container considering the stresses that may act upon the cargo during the voyage. He
would examine the SWL of the lashing materials to be used and adequacy of the
lashing /securing arrangement so that the heavy cargo unit arrives at destination safe
and in sound condition thus protecting the shipper from any claim /liability against him.
The pre-loading condition survey in most cases is a must as per warranty clause in the
policy cover issued by most of the insurance & P&I Clubs in order to prevent a loss so
that the interested parties involved are protected.
