Heavy lifts and oversized equipment are often the most critical items in the construction of large plants for the oil and gas industry as well as power plants and chemical complexes. Intermar are involved to review plans, advise on handling, stowage, lashing and securing of these cargoes. Clients are  engineering companies, international freight forwarders and shipping companies. Lifting plans are reviewed and lifting equipment is inspected. Vessel’s stability is checked and operations are discussed with vessel’s staff. Stowage plans are discussed and securing proposals are reviewed to ensure safe handling and transport. Reports are issued, documenting loading, stowage and seafasting with drawings, calculations and photographs. The condition of cargo is determined prior to loading or discharge and adequacy of stowage and securing for intended ocean voyage. The nature, cause, and extent of damage resulting from ocean voyage and/or rough and improper handling then determined.
