Inspection and Surveillance

Port inspection and surveillance are crucial processes aimed at ensuring the safety and efficiency of port operations. This process involves ensuring security, compliance, and operational performance during the loading, unloading of ships, and the use of port facilities. Port inspection and supervision are typically conducted by independent inspection firms or certification organizations and encompass a range of significant activities.

Ship Inspection:
Ship inspection forms the basis of port inspection and supervision processes. During the entry and exit of the ship to the port, we review a series of factors such as the ship’s security, loading/unloading procedures, compliance of ship personnel, and condition of ship equipment.

Cargo Tracking and Control:
During port inspection and supervision, the safety and compliance of transported cargoes are also important. We check whether the required standards are met during the transportation, storage, and unloading of cargoes.

Customs and Import/Export Controls:
Ports are significant points of national and international trade, and customs controls are an integral part of this process. Through port inspection and supervision, we ensure the correct implementation of customs procedures and import/export controls.

Dock and Facility Assessments:
During port inspection and supervision, we also evaluate the overall condition of port facilities, the security of docks and coastal structures, maintenance status, and compliance. This is crucial for enhancing operational efficiency of port facilities and ensuring long-term security.
