Selected assignments
Cargo claims
Cargo shift – Kiel. For a charterer's P&I club we attended a ro-ro vessel after paper cargo had shifted on several cassettes during a Baltic voyage. We documented the securing arrangements against the Cargo Securing Manual and identified the cause.
Insect infestation – Bremerhaven. For a leading P&I club we investigated the nature and extent of an insect infestation on board a vessel sailing from West Africa to Bremerhaven.
Project & steel cargo
Gantry crane – Rotterdam. We supervised the discharge of a gantry crane with a top section weighing up to 386 t.
Steel for the Great Lakes – Bremen. Storage, pre-loading and loading surveys for regular shipments of steel bars from Bremen to ports on the Great Lakes in the USA – an ongoing series.
Offshore survey (MWS)
We carried out a suitability survey on board a research vessel to be employed in the Nord Stream pipeline project.
