Pre-shipment cargo survey essentials

Every shipment of breakbulk or Out-of-Gauge (OOG) cargo brings with it unique challenges. These types of cargo—often oversized, irregularly shaped, or extremely heavy—demand specialised handling and transportation to ensure their safety. This is precisely where pre-shipment cargo surveys prove indispensable.

These inspections, conducted before the cargo embarks on its journey, ensure its condition, dimensions, weight, and centre of gravity (CoG) are all accurately accounted for. This is the key to avoiding risks such as cargo damage, transportation delays, and even hazardous lifting incidents. A well-executed pre-shipment cargo survey transforms potential obstacles into manageable solutions, enabling a smooth and safe transportation process.
