The movement of heavy lift and cargo items is challenging and requires full collaboration between all parties concerned. Every project is unique and requires extra attention and precise planning to ensure all goes well.
​
Armada Maritime Services surveyors ensure that the items being moved are safely and professionally stowed and secured to prevent damage to the vessel or the cargo during transit, and that no damage is caused to the vessel, cargo or wharf during discharge.
​
We also ensure the item is secured properly and safely onto land transport for its journey to its final location. In some instances, such as in marine warranty surveys, we also follow through to ensure it is safely installed on site.
​
Our surveyors are actively involved in planning, handling, transport, stowage, lashing and securing and are experienced in supervising a variety of heavy lift cargo operations:
