Our Cargo Handling Process
Pre-Arrival Planning
Our operations team coordinates with vessel owners, agents, and surveyors prior to arrival. Berth allocation, product compatibility checks, and regulatory pre-clearance are completed before the vessel arrives at port.
Vessel Arrival & Inspection
On vessel arrival, our team conducts a joint inspection with the vessel’s chief officer. Tank conditions, ullage readings, and product samples are taken and documented by independent surveyors.
Loading / Discharge Operations
Product transfer operations commence with continuous monitoring of flow rates, pressures, and tank levels. Our team maintains direct communication with vessel crew and shore control throughout.
Quantity & Quality Certification
Upon completion, independent surveyors certify the quantity and quality of cargo transferred. All figures are reconciled and agreed upon by both parties before documentation is issued.
