Overview
Independent attendance with evidence you can rely on
Oversized and high-value cargo requires close coordination between vessel, terminal, lifting contractor and cargo interests. We provide independent attendance from pre-shipment condition through lifting, stowage, securing and final delivery. For oversized and out-of-gauge (OOG) project cargo, discuss loading and discharge supervision, heavy-lift attendance and cargo lashing and securing reports.
Scope and reporting are tailored to the appointment, the interests represented and the evidence required. Joint attendances are handled professionally, with areas of agreement and disagreement recorded clearly.
