Services > DryCargo Surveys > Stowage & Lashing Inspection

Cargoes are shipped in boxes, pallets or special packaging depending on their nature, and general and specific characteristics.  It is of great importance and interest to importers and carriers that the manner of stowing and lashing of cargoes in the vessel’s hold or on other means of transportation (such as trucks, trailer-trucks etc) be checked to ensure their safety and security during the voyage.  IGS has experts in this field who ensure the adequacy of the stowage and lashing of cargoes in the vessel’s holds or on road transport carriers.  Furthermore, we submit reports together with details, evidence and photographs and we provide expert guidelines that can help transport companies in storage, stowage and carriage of goods and thus reduce possible risks to the absolute minimum.
