Fergal loading supervision services inspect your products prior to or after shipment and have been developed in response to increasingly global markets, in which businesses sell to, and import supplies from, countries across the world. They aim not only to ensure that those goods being shipped are those that were assessed in final random inspections but also to prevent costly mishandling of goods.

The aim of our container loading supervision service is to ensure that products are loaded and secured correctly, regardless of whether they are to be transported by container, ship or truck. A container loading check may cover:

Quantity verification

Traceability of products – including verification of production codes, plant numbers and stock numbers against a packing list or invoice

Verification of external and internal operating conditions of containers

Cleanliness inspection of trailers or containers for debris, insects and vermin, for example

Temperature monitoring inspection

Packaging

Labeling

Shipping marks for regulatory compliance (for example bar code checks)

Documentation of any damage observed during loading

Photographs of packing and loading processes

Documentation of container, vessel and seal number

As soon as loading has been completed, on client’s special request, we seal containers to reduce the risk of tampering, theft and substation.

Unloading supervisions include similar checks of container integrity against checklists or invoices, to avoid import disputes and ensure products arrive in the same state in which they were loaded.

Container Loading Supervision provides reassurance that your finished goods are handled correctly when loaded into containers to ensure safe transportation and delivery to their destination in a satisfactory condition. Sometimes referred to as Container Loading Inspection, this service usually takes place at the factory or your forwarder’s premises and occurs after a pre-shipment inspection (PSI).

fergal Inspectors examine a range of important criteria to ensure accurate quantities of your products are loaded and handled correctly to protect your goods during shipment. We also verify the container is properly sealed and the documentation for customs inspection is available.
