This type of survey aims to ensure that cargo is properly secured and that transport conditions are safe throughout the shipping process. It helps to prevent damage or loss caused by shifting, improper stowage, or inadequate securing methods.

Scope of Survey:

• Evaluate the methods and equipment used for cargo securing onboard vessels or other transport means.
• Assess the compliance of securing practices with international standards such as the IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSS Code).
• Identify risks related to cargo movement, structural impact, or safety hazards during transport.
• Recommend corrective actions or improvements to enhance cargo safety and minimize potential loss or damage.
