Ensuring the safe transport of project cargo is crucial, especially given its sensitivity and high value. Damage and loss often stem from improper stowage, loading, securing, and
discharging operations.
A vital component of project cargo shipments is the involvement of a specialised surveyor to oversee the calculation and installation of lashing and securing methods. This not only protects people and equipment but also ensures legal compliance. The Casper Renewables & Special Projects team provides expert marine surveyors to supervise the handling of project cargo.
A recent project involved 60 blade frames within a ship’s hold and on deck.
Lashing and securing involve fastening cargo using appropriate materialsāsuch as wood, wire, chains, web lashing, or steel platesāto ensure that it is stable and seaworthy for transport. For large and heavy units, solid sea fastening is typically employed, requiring careful design and qualified welding.
All types of cargo may need lashing and securing, from pipes and steel structures to transformers, turbines, machinery, and vehicles.
If you’re planning a shipment of project cargo, the Casper Renewables & Special Projects team is here to assist. We offer professional lashing and securing services, materials, and reliable marine surveyors to ensure your cargo is handled safely and efficiently, in partnership with our trusted associates.
