Container Surveys

Containers play a critical role in the safe and efficient movement of cargo across global supply chains. To protect both assets and cargo value, independent surveys are essential to verify that containers meet safety, regulatory, and operational standards before loading, during transit, and upon delivery. At SCQ Offshore, we provide container surveys for all container types to ensure structural soundness, weather-tightness, and suitability for cargo transportation. 

Our inspection covers the overall condition of the container, including exterior and interior structure, doors and locking mechanisms, base flooring, roof panels, CSC plate validity, lashing points, seals, and water-tightness. Where applicable, reefer machinery performance and temperature control equipment are assessed to confirm proper operation. Each survey is performed with a practical understanding of cargo care, helping to identify risks that could lead to cargo damage, contamination, delays, or commercial disputes. 

 Every survey includes a clear and comprehensive report supported by photographic evidence, seal verification records, and findings prioritized by risk level. Whether the inspection is required for loading approval, shipment documentation, pre-trip inspection, claim investigation, or insurance evidence, SCQ Offshore delivers independent and reliable technical oversight to support safe and compliant container operations.
