Packaged panel cargo loading supervision
Gemlik2 photos
Packs of wood-based panels and boards are sensitive to moisture, impact and corner crushing. Wet or crushed packs can become unusable, so the hold must be clean and dry before loading, and packs must be lifted correctly and stowed evenly.
During supervision we check the pack count, the condition of wrapping and straps, the evenness of the stow and any voids between packs. Damaged packs are set aside before loading and recorded.
Panel packs being lowered into the hold with textile slings. Lifting from the correct points prevents edge and corner damage. Panel stow in the hold during night loading. Leaving no voids between layers prevents packs from shifting and crushing during the voyage.

Silver nitrate testing on steel coils
We use the silver nitrate (AgNO₃) test on site to identify the source of rust, wetness and water staining on steel coils. When the solution is sprayed on the suspect area, a white, milky precipitate (silver chloride) forms if chlorides are present, showing that the wetting came from seawater. If there is no reaction, the moisture most likely came from fresh water, such as rain or condensation (sweat).

In-hold steel coil cargo inspections
Because of their weight and round shape, steel coils are among the riskiest cargoes at sea. Without correct stowage, sufficient dunnage and secure lashing, coils can shift when the vessel rolls, crush against one another and damage the ship's structure.

Steel coil discharge supervision
Every lift during a steel coil discharge carries risk for the cargo and for the people around it. During supervision we check that the lifting gear (C-hooks, slings, chains) is suitable for the cargo and that coils are moved without crushing or edge damage.
