The Importance of Proper Coil Cargo Securing<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Coil cargoes such as steel coils, paper rolls, aluminum coils, wire coils, cable drums, textile rolls, and similar industrial products are typically heavy and inherently prone to rolling and shifting. When transported in containers, these cargoes are subjected to continuous dynamic forces arising from vessel motions, road vibrations, acceleration, deceleration, and handling operations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Improper securing may result in cargo movement during transit, leading to cargo damage, container deformation, operational hazards, and, in severe cases, significant losses throughout the logistics chain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Common Risks Associated with Coil Cargo Transportation<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Based on VM Control’s extensive field experience, cargo shifting incidents are frequently attributed to:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Inadequate or improperly designed blocking and bracing arrangements.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Insufficient lashing or securing systems.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Use of unsuitable or weak dunnage materials.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Failure to consider dynamic transport loads during sea voyages.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Excessive void spaces between the cargo and container structure.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    These deficiencies may lead to:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Cargo damage and loss.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Structural damage to container walls, doors, or flooring.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Rejection of insurance claims.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Commercial disputes among stakeholders.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Safety hazards during transportation and cargo handling operations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Scope of Coil Cargo Securing Survey<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

      To mitigate transportation risks, VM Control conducts independent inspections and assessments in accordance with recognized international cargo securing practices and maritime transportation standards.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Our survey scope includes:<\/span><\/p>\n

      1. Container Condition Inspection<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Examination of container flooring condition.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Inspection of side walls, end walls, and container doors.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Verification of lashing points and securing arrangements.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Assessment of container suitability for the intended cargo.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        2. Blocking and Bracing Assessment<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • Inspection of dunnage quality and condition.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Verification of blocking dimensions and positioning.<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Evaluation of anti-rolling and anti-shifting arrangements.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          3. Lashing System Verification<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          • Quantity and adequacy of lashings.<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Type and condition of securing materials used.<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Lashing direction and securing geometry.<\/span><\/li>\n
          • Tension and effectiveness of the securing system.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            4. Safety Evaluation<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

              \n
            • Assessment of cargo stability during transportation.<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Verification of securing arrangements against expected transport forces.<\/span><\/li>\n
            • Identification of potential risks that may arise during the voyage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Benefits of an Independent Securing Survey<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

              Conducting an independent securing survey prior to container sealing provides several advantages:<\/span><\/p>\n

                \n
              • Minimization of cargo damage risks.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Compliance with requirements from cargo owners, carriers, and insurers.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Independent evidence of cargo loading and securing conditions.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Reduction of potential claims and disputes.<\/span><\/li>\n
              • Enhanced transportation safety throughout the logistics chain.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
