What A Marine Cargo Surveyor Must Do

Marine Cargo Survey Indonesia as a cargo surveyor, has several main tasks that must be carried out, as follows:

1. Cargo space survey

The cargo space can be in the form of hold rooms, tanks, containers, bulk cargo spaces, and others. The first thing to do is to conduct a survey on whether the loading space is ready to be loaded. In this case, there are several things that must be checked, namely:

Hygiene of hatches, tanks, containers, or others
Fumigate the room so that it is free from CRAWLING, INSECT, FLYING INSECT, Deratting Certificate, and others
Heating coil for cargo to be heated and reefer room for cargo to be cooled
Load lashing
BILGES WELLS and ROSE BOXES in the cargo hold
Air pipes and fittings

2. Load survey

The survey is carried out at the time of loading and unloading, including the condition of the load. The load conditions that must be surveyed are:

Broken, wet, leaking, torn, cracked, dented
Sticky to each other, crumbled because of the wrong arrangement/compaction
Lack of maintenance so that the sweat of the ship and the sweat of the cargo arise
Wrong in using loading and unloading tools, for example, Sling
Separation of DELICATE CARGO with ODORUS CARGO
Separation and Dunnahe charge
Separating cold cargo according to its type and dangerous goods according to class.

3. Cargo damage report

This is a cargo report where there is a possibility of being returned to land if the damage endangers people, ships, and other cargo. The points surveyed are:

During loading or unloading, damage to the load may occur due to ROUGH HANDLING by workers and others
At sea, there can be damage to the cargo due to bad weather, so the ship experiences ROLLING PITCHING / YAWING, and the cargo moves
A leak in the tank or hatch cover can damage the cargo.

4. Survey report

Survey reports must be made accurate and fast so that they can be trusted by related parties in any business that uses marine survey services in it.

Because in marine survey services for loading supervision, the results of the survey report on the amount of cargo and the quality of the cargo surveyed by the Marine Cargo Survey Indonesia become the benchmark for the B/L (Bill of Lading) number so based on the surveyor’s report figures, the seller collects an invoice to the buyer.
