ENSURING CARGO SAFETY WITH ULTRASONIC LEAK TESTING (ULT) FOR HATCH COVERS

quantri — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 01:57:02 +0000

In maritime transport, cargo damage resulting from seawater ingress through hatch covers remains a primary concern for Shipowners, Charterers, and P&I Clubs. To mitigate risks and protect our clients’ interests, Viet Marine Control Joint Stock Company provides professional Ultrasonic Leak Testing (ULT) – the most advanced, accurate, and reliable solution available today.

Why Choose Ultrasonic Testing Over Hose Testing?

While traditional Hose Testing was once the industry standard, it presents several drawbacks: the risk of wetting moisture-sensitive cargo, the inability to perform tests during cargo operations, and difficulty in pinpointing microscopic leakages.

Ultrasonic Testing (ULT) offers superior advantages:

Absolute Precision: Detects even the smallest gaps that are invisible to the naked eye or impenetrable by water.
Non-Destructive & Dry: The process is completely dry, ensuring no damage to moisture-sensitive cargo inside the hold.
Operational Flexibility: Testing can be conducted regardless of whether the vessel is empty or loaded, and is unaffected by freezing weather conditions.
Efficiency: Rapid execution without the need for high-pressure water systems or drainage management.

Our Professional Inspection Process

Leveraging a team of highly experienced surveyors and internationally certified equipment, we follow a rigorous inspection protocol:

1. Visual Inspection: Assessing the physical condition of hatch covers, rubber packings, compression bars, and drainage channels.

2. Transmitter Placement: Positioning the ultrasonic transmitter inside the cargo hold before securing the hatch covers.

3. Signal Detection: Surveyors use a calibrated receiver to scan all joint lines and cross-joints.

4. Data Analysis: Any sound leakage exceeding allowable decibel (dB) limits identifies a specific point of potential water ingress.

5. Certification: Issuing an objective, transparent, and comprehensive Inspection Report recognized by international maritime stakeholders.

Commitment from Viet Marine Control Joint Stock Company

“We don’t just provide inspection services; we deliver absolute peace of mind for every voyage.”

State-of-the-art Equipment: We utilize Type-Approved ultrasonic leak detectors (such as SDT or Cygnus) compliant with Class society standards.
Expert Surveyors: Our team consists of qualified professionals with deep technical knowledge of vessel structures and maritime regulations.
24/7 Availability: Rapid response and mobilization at all major ports across Vietnam.

STEEL SHIPMENTS DON’T FAIL OFFSHORE – THEY FAIL AT LOADING

quantri — Tue, 14 Apr 2026 02:14:55 +0000

In maritime logistics, there is a critical truth that is often overlooked:

Cargo rarely fails because of its quality — it fails because of how it is secured.

The reality on the Vietnam – U.S. trade lane

On voyages lasting 30–40 days across the Pacific Ocean, most steel cargo incidents are not caused by manufacturing defects, but by:

Substandard lashing & securing practices
Improper load distribution
Lack of technical control at the point of loading

Minor oversights at origin can escalate into:

Structural deformation
Cargo shifting or collapse
Insurance claims
Project delays at destination

Case Study: One adjustment — a completely different outcome

We recently attended a shipment of structural steel bound for the United States with the following initial condition:

Cargo condition: Perfect
Initial securing: Below international standards

Before vessel departure, our team implemented:

Lashing arrangement adjustments
Reinforcement at critical stress points
Optimization of load distribution within the container / on deck

The outcome:

Zero damage upon discharge
No insurance claims
No disruption to installation schedule in the U.S.

👉 A single technical intervention at the right time eliminated the entire risk exposure.

Risk is not in the cargo — it’s in the journey

A trans-Pacific voyage is not just transportation — it is a stress environment, where cargo is subjected to:

Continuous vibration
Lateral and longitudinal acceleration
Heavy seas and dynamic forces

Without proper securing, even perfect cargo can turn into:

Damaged cargo
Rejected shipments
High-value claims

The solution: Control at the point of loading

At VM CONTROL, we focus on one principle:

Risk must be controlled before the vessel sails.

We bridge the gap between:

Vietnam’s manufacturing capability
And the stringent standards of the U.S. market

Through:

On-site technical supervision at loading yards
International-standard lashing inspection
Practical, cargo-specific risk assessment

Our 4–12–24 Commitment

4 hours: Response & coordination
12 hours: On-site attendance
24 hours: Technical reporting & recommendations

DON’T WAIT FOR AN “INCIDENT” TO THINK ABOUT LASHING: WHY SUPERVISION IS AN INDISPENSABLE LINK

quantri — Thu, 02 Apr 2026 02:13:28 +0000

In the transport industry, there is a well-known saying: “Cargo at sea ultimately depends on the hands of the lashing crew.” A minor miscalculation in tension or selecting the wrong type of securing gear can turn a million-dollar cargo into scrap after a single heavy swell.

Below is a practical perspective on why you need an independent Lashing Supervision service rather than relying solely on stevedores.

1. Lashing Supervision is More Than “Just Watching”

Many cargo owners assume supervision is limited to taking photos for handover reports. In reality, we do much more:

Equipment Verification: Not all turnbuckles, wires, or chains meet standards. We immediately reject corroded, outdated, or under-rated equipment (SWL non-compliant).
Method Statement Review: While stevedores aim for speed, supervisors ensure correctness. We reassess lashing angles to achieve optimal securing forces.
Center of Gravity Control: For heavy-lift and oversized cargo, incorrect COG identification creates major risks. We ensure precise positioning, proper dunnage, and accurate load distribution down to the smallest detail.

2. Immediate Risks Without Professional Supervision

Progressive Failure of Lashings: A single failed lashing point can overload others, creating a domino effect.
Insurance Claim Rejection: In the event of damage, the absence of proper lashing supervision records can lead to claim denial by insurers.
Damage to Transport Units: Cargo shifting can deform container floors or vessel structures, resulting in substantial penalties and repair costs.

3. Our Scope of Supervision

Container Lashing (Flatrack / Open Top): Specialized for oversized cargo and heavy machinery.
Breakbulk Vessel Lashing: Supervision of welding (sea fastening), stoppers, and chain securing on deck.
Container Stuffing & Dunnage: Ensuring cargo stability and preventing movement throughout the voyage.

4. The Value You Receive: True Peace of Mind

When you engage our services, you are not paying for a few inspection photos—you are investing in:

Survey Certificate: A credible document supporting your cargo integrity.
IMO-Compliant Procedures: Full alignment with international maritime safety standards.
Time Efficiency: Immediate handling of on-site issues, minimizing delays and demurrage risks.

Expert Advice:
The cost of lashing supervision is only a fraction of your cargo value, yet it is the most practical “insurance layer” you can invest in for your shipment.

STEEL COIL LASHING SUPERVISION IN CONTAINER

quantri — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 04:52:12 +0000

Strict Control – Maximum Safety – Precision in Every Detail

Steel coils are among the most high-risk cargoes in containerized transport due to their heavy weight, off-center gravity, and rolling tendency. Improper securing can cause coils to shift, roll, or impact container walls, resulting in severe cargo damage and substantial claims.

The steel coil lashing supervision service provided by Vietnam Marine Survey Joint Stock Company focuses on controlling every contact point, every securing method, and every technical detail to ensure maximum safety.

1. Risk Characteristics of Steel Coils

Heavy weight (ranging from several tons to dozens of tons per coil)
High tendency to roll longitudinally or laterally inside the container
Smooth metallic surface with low friction
Susceptible to edge damage, deformation, or core collapse upon impact

👉 Therefore, lashing steel coils is not merely fixing the cargo, but controlling movement in all directions.

2. Core Supervision Principles

🔹 Positioning

Determine appropriate stowage method: “eye to side” or “eye to sky” depending on cargo characteristics
Use proper cradles and wooden supports suitable for the load
Ensure even weight distribution on the container floor

🔹 Blocking & Bracing

Apply side chocking to prevent rolling
Reinforce front and rear ends with solid blocking
Verify the quality and strength of dunnage materials (timber, rubber, composite materials)

🔹 Lashing

Use high-tensile steel straps or polyester lashings
Arrange lashing angles properly to counteract shifting forces
Check tension and integrity of lashing points

🔹 Securing Enhancement

Use dunnage bags where necessary
Increase friction using anti-slip materials
Eliminate dangerous void spaces within the container

3. Scope of On-site Supervision

Our surveyors are present on-site to:

Inspect container condition prior to loading
Monitor the entire loading and securing process for each coil
Assess and adjust lashing arrangements based on actual conditions
Record comprehensive photos and technical data
Issue immediate warnings and corrective instructions when risks are identified

4. Value Delivered

✔️ Prevention of coil rolling incidents – a leading cause of major cargo losses
✔️ Compliance with stringent requirements from carriers and insurers
✔️ Enhanced confidence for cargo owners in international transportation
✔️ Clear and professional documentation to support claims when necessary

5. Service Commitment

We go beyond routine supervision by:
👉 Proactively controlling risks – intervening in real time – ensuring technical accountability

Each steel coil container is treated as a unique operational case, requiring hands-on experience, deep understanding of cargo behavior, and strict adherence to international standards.

6. Conclusion

For steel coils, even minor mistakes can lead to significant losses. Lashing supervision is therefore not optional—it is a critical requirement to ensure cargo safety and maintain business credibility in the global logistics chain.
