Container transport is a very popular and convenient way of transporting goods. For it to be safe, the conditions for proper packaging and securing of the goods transported must be met. Inspection of container loading makes it possible to eliminate hazards caused by incorrectly packed goods.

Visual inspection of the technical condition of the containers

The first and indispensable step towards the goal of safe transport of goods is to check the technical condition of the container. Before loading, each container is thoroughly inspected by us for any damage and leaks. We have trained staff to visually inspect the containers, giving you the assurance that your goods are safe for transport.

The course of a container inspection consists of:

visual inspection of the outside of the container for mechanical damage
visual inspection of the inside of the container for tightness and mechanical damages
preparation of photo documentation of the container before loading.

Another way to increase the safety of containerised goods is to inspect the container loading. It is carried out to do all due diligence, to make sure that the goods being transported in the container will be safe. It is a “blow-by-blow” to maintain peace of mind and a sense of security during the weeks and sometimes months-long journey of your goods. It involves analysing each stage of securing the cargo for resistance to mechanical damage.

At the request of our customers, we inspect both the technical condition of the containers before they are packed and the stowage process itself.
