Dry/Reefer Container - Stuffing/Unstuffing Inspection

At Tropical Cargo Surveys Co. Ltd., we provide expert container stuffing and unstuffing inspection services for both dry and reefer (refrigerated) containers. These inspections are vital to ensure the safe, compliant, and efficient loading and unloading of cargo, protecting goods from damage and ensuring full documentation integrity throughout the supply chain.

Our experienced surveyors supervise operations to verify that cargo is handled correctly, containers are suitable, and shipping and safety standards are met before transit begins or upon delivery.

Scope of Inspection Services

Our container inspection services cover all critical aspects of the stuffing (loading) and unstuffing (unloading) process, including:

• Cargo quantity and condition verification:
  We confirm that the number and type of cargo units match shipping documentation, and inspect for any visible signs of damage, contamination, or tampering prior to loading or after discharge.
• Container suitability and cleanliness:
  We assess the physical condition, cleanliness, and structural soundness of the container to ensure it is appropriate for the intended cargo type, including dry goods, temperature-sensitive products, or hazardous materials.
• Stuffing and securing techniques:
  We oversee cargo placement to ensure even distribution, proper use of dunnage, lashings, air bags, and bracing materials. This minimizes shifting and damage during transit.
• Reefer container checks:
  For refrigerated cargo, we verify pre-trip inspection (PTI) status, temperature settings, humidity control, and ventilation. We also ensure that thermal insulation and container seals are intact.
• Photo documentation and reporting: All findings are recorded with timestamped photos and summarized in clear, objective inspection reports, supporting claims processing, compliance, and cargo traceability.
