Available for any length of time, we are specialists in handling breakbulk and project cargoes. Frequently required to co-ordinate project cargoes and heavy lifts, we regularly supervise automobile and steel discharges and are prepared to handle virtually any cargo. We will advise manufacturers or shippers on the stuffing and lashing of products loaded into containers. A distinctive feature of our services is that we remain with a ship from start to finish. Skills and energy are focused on the ship at hand, so when unexpected changes occur, a range of solutions is quickly offered and downtime is kept to a minimum.
Modern vessels load quickly, and the costs associated with cargo movements are high.
We are on deck rain or shine, day or night, weekday or holiday, at one standard rate. Our range of services is flexible and depends on Client needs. We advise on any special handling and stowage requirements of a particular cargo, confirm methods, manning and gear requirements with Stevedores, prepare the pre-stow plan, update it as changes occur, and present a final stowage plan and hatch plans when the vessel sails, prepare and clause Mates Receipts, and follow Quality Control procedures During cargo operations almost anything can happen. Cargo delays occur. Knowing who can make a quick repair, what the Coast Guard Regulations are, who to call for inspections, what Union Agreements require, and when to order Pilots, tugs, and linesmen, are some of the services routinely offered by us.
