Cargo Holds Inspection – Protecting Surveyor

Cargo Holds Inspection – Protecting Surveyor

As Protecting Surveyors, we conduct independent inspections of cargo holds prior to loading, ensuring they meet the cleanliness, structural, and readiness standards required by terminals and cargo receivers.

Our service includes:

  • Visual assessment of cleanliness, coatings, and presence of residues, rust, or stains

  • Evaluation of structural condition: bulkheads, tank tops, manholes, ladders, bilges, and sounding pipes

  • Identification of foreign material, odors, or humidity that may compromise the cargo

  • Issuance of a detailed report with high-resolution photos and remarks

  • Active coordination with the crew and follow-up until approval is obtained

We act solely on behalf of our client—whether a charterer, cargo owner, or operator—protecting your interests, avoiding delays, and reducing the risk of rejections or cleaning claims.

Available 24/7 in Up River, Zona Común, Montevideo, Bahía Blanca, and Brazilian ports.
