In today’s global maritime logistics, large vessels such as container ships, bulk carriers, tankers, RO-RO vessels, LPG/LNG carriers, and multipurpose ships play a vital role in sustaining international trade. With massive cargo volumes, long voyages, and high technical demands, marine cargo surveying becomes an indispensable measure to ensure safety, efficiency, and transparency throughout the transport chain.
At VM CONTROL, we offer a comprehensive marine cargo survey service tailored for large vessels, meeting international standards while protecting the legitimate interests of shippers, carriers, insurers, and other stakeholders.
🔍 Our Survey Scope for Large Vessel Cargoes Includes:
✅ Quantity and quality inspection of cargo:
We apply appropriate methods such as draft surveys, volumetric calculations, weight measurement, sampling, and laboratory analysis in compliance with ISO, ASTM, GAFTA, and FOSFA standards – ensuring fairness, accuracy, and transparency.
✅ Inspection of packaging, lashing, and securing arrangements:
For heavy and sensitive cargoes (industrial equipment, steel coils, fertilizers, grains, etc.), we assess packaging integrity, securing materials, dunnage structure, and stowage plans to minimize transit damage and maintain cargo safety.
✅ Supervision of loading and discharging operations:
We monitor cargo handling at both loading and discharge ports, documenting the condition of cargo before – during – after the operation with photographs, logs, and detailed records to ensure proper practices and mitigate risk.
✅ Damage assessment and root cause analysis:
In cases of seawater ingress, deformation, contamination, physical damage, or shortages, our experienced surveyors conduct immediate on-site inspections to evaluate the extent of loss and determine root causes.
✅ Advisory support on insurance and legal claims:
Beyond technical evaluations, we assist clients in drafting insurance claim reports, handling commercial disputes, and preparing legal documents, helping reduce legal exposure and speed up settlement processes.
