A lot of general cargoes is carried in the containers. Thus, companies that deal with containerized shipping are often interested in surveys of containers. We carry out damage surveys, condition surveys, repair surveys, and monitoring of containers.With an ongoing global demand of goods, containers have been one of the largest and fastest growing cargo categories in many of the ports worldwide. These containers carry anything from equipment and machinery parts to children’s toys and clothing to perishable goods. Due to this increase in the production of containers there is a greater need of reliable inspections.
Determining whether a container is unsuitable for cargo can greatly reduce the risk of liability for firms exporting goods. Companies seek shop inspectors who have the experience and qualifications to verify the structural integrity of containers..
