Important Considerations for Out-of-Gauge Shipping
Kenter considers various crucial factors when shipping heavy cargo like:
Marine Surveyors
We can connect you with qualified marine surveyors who can analyse your cargo to recommend a suitable shipping option. This assessment is based on factors like dimensions, weight, and potential hazards.
Safety
We follow strict safety protocols during shipping, including careful securing and lashing of cargo. Our aim is to prevent any kind of damage to the cargo during shipment.
Stowage Positions
We meticulously consider stowage positions within the vessel for maximum stability and minimum exposure to sea spray that could damage import machinery.
