Ship Inspections
Buyers or sellers can take advantage of our surveillance service to inspect the warehouse before loading. In this way, all parties are assured that the cargo will not be contaminated in any way or damaged by ship defects. Our inspectors take pictures of the entire process, document it and report any problems encountered.
Improper closure of the ship's hatch cover or faulty fastening operations account for a significant percentage of cargo-related defects and buyer rejections. PF Global hatch cover inspections provide evidence that hatch cover condition does not pose a threat to the load.
Visually inspects that the hatches are watertight and in good condition during the ship's departure and arrival. It checks for holes, damage and leaks that can compromise the quality of the load. Performs chalk, hatch tightness and ultrasonic leak detection tests for objective evaluation and verification. Complete and independent hatch and hatch cover inspection is one of the inspection services offered by PF Global, a trusted leader in bulk cargo management.
