Container Loading Supervision

Why are container loading and unloading inspections important?

The handling of shipping containers often results in problems that can impact the quality of your goods during transportation. We see water ingress from leaks and the resultant rotting wood or mold, breakdown of weatherproofing around doors etc.

In addition, some product suppliers often enforce a particular method of lading, hence resulting in poorly packed containers, thereby increasing rate of damaged goods or costs from poor stacking.

These issues can be mitigated with the help of container loading and unloading inspection, thereby saving you money, loss of goodwill with customers, aggravation and time too.
