• Condition of goods: Internal and external condition are completely normal and show no signs of damage.

• Cargo loading method and Lashing system:

If the Goods are a single package: The Goods must be placed in the middle of the container. In order to ensure the correct center of gravity to help maintain balance during the lifting and lowering process of the port or shipping line.

If the Goods are 02 or more packages: all packages of Goods must be balanced on the container floor. Calculate to ensure the center of gravity always keeps the container balanced during the lifting process.

• What type of container will be packed: for example: Open-top, Flat Rack, . . .(see types of containers)

• Calculation method, Stacking method, Lashing method, End insertion points method, nailing, welding fixation

Lashing certification and marine warranty surveying

Regarding the safety of iron and steel structure goods, bulky, oversized “the out of gauge cargo” such as Large Machinery, Equipment, Vehicles, Construction material and component, Pipes, Wind turbines blades, Ship, Tanks and Gas & Oil projects . . . and open top containers, flat rack, …. in sea transport, shipping lines always put it first safety for the following reasons:

1- goods with large weight are very risks to cause damages/loss when lifting, arranging of handling.

2- the dimensions / sizes of the goods exceeds the dimension of the container => impaction, collision or falling

3- This type of goods is usually not packaged according to maritime transport standards => causing risks of damage such as salt contamination, scratches, warping or breakage and causing chain accidents for other goods placed next to each other in the same package.

4- The arrangement of the out of gauge cargo and containers on board will be limited zone and not ensure spaces if the representatives of shipping lines such as shipping agents, masters, chief officers (C/O) and crew do not have accurate information and data.

5- The “fraudulent or mistaken declaration” of the shipper to take advantage of freight rates.

 

The above reasons constitute risks and damages to the goods from the Port of Departure => Port of Arrival, from the Country of the shipper to the Locality of the consignee.

 

The responsibility will be attributed to the fault of the shipping line if they accept this type of goods and containers for transportation without a “Lashing certification” issued by an AIM Group survey company with in deep experience in “marine warranty surveys and surveyors”, reputable and approved by shipping lines.

AIM Group surveyors who conduct lashing surveys for this special type of out of gauge cargo are always experienced seafarers with the title of “Captain, Chief Mate or those who have been trained through degrees and many years of practice to identify all possible risks for each “OOG” package, the Ship’s route, the position on the ship “cargo holds, on deck positions” where the container and goods packages will be placed / stowaged in order to advise on appropriate and safe lashing and stuffing”.

AIM Group always sets up a team of surveyors and consultants to inspect and supervise the loading and stuffing strictly over time.

Many factories and companies that sell or outsource the service of “stuffing, stowage, loading” these types of goods into specialized containers and conduct “lashing” but do not have any knowledge or standards to anticipate risks that may arise at any time.

AIM Group represents shipping lines to provide specific, detailed and in-depth advice in the shipping industry for them during the above process to ensure absolute safety for goods and containers to their destination.

In the past, some companies, suppliers, shippers and logistics companies, because of "CHEAP PRICES", have hired many inspection companies that are not qualified and experienced enough to receive lashing certificate services, causing SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES FOR SHIPPING LINES AND CUSTOMERS. Therefore, shipping lines have approved AIM Group as the company authorized to conduct inspections on their behalf and they only accept our "Certification of lashing" before receiving goods on board.

Noted:

Some companies have forged AIM Group's Certificates to issue for some shipments and the shipping lines are suspicious so they have contacted us for verification.
