In maritime transport, precision, timing, and compliance with international standards are critical. Any deviation can lead to delays, financial loss, or even cargo rejection. That’s why Baltic Control^® offers comprehensive vessel inspection services to ensure every stage of loading and unloading operations is conducted properly and transparently.

Our services focus on safeguarding cargo quality, contractual compliance, and providing confidence to all stakeholders involved in global trade.

Our services include:

• Supervision of Loading and Discharge

  We monitor the entire loading or discharge process — from cargo handling on board to delivery to warehouses, containers, or land transport. Our inspectors ensure all procedures align with contractual agreements.

• Load Compartment Inspections (LCI) and Equipment Checks

  We assess the technical condition and cleanliness of ship holds and cargo handling equipment to confirm readiness for loading.

• Draft Surveys

  We conduct precise draft measurements before and after loading to calculate the net weight of cargo loaded or discharged.

• Sampling and Quality Evaluation

  During loading and discharge, we perform visual assessments, collect samples, and carry out on-site private analysis. Contract samples are prepared according to applicable standards.

• ULD Testing and Optional Fumigation

  For cargo requiring fumigation, we conduct ultrasonic leak detection (ULD) tests to confirm hatch tightness. Fumigation is carried out using aluminum or magnesium phosphide in tablet or bag form, under full compliance with regulations.

• Inspection Reports and Certificates

  After inspection, we issue complete documentation — including an operational report, inspection certificate, and photo records (upon request).
