A container’s condition is contested at every handover — on-hire, off-hire, interchange, after repair. BCBD documents the condition at the moment it matters, so lessors, lessees and operators are looking at photographs and a certificate instead of arguing from memory.

- Seal inspection prior to discharge / post-landing

Inspection procedure
Procedures and practices follow ISO and IICL standards — including the 8-point inspection — and/or your specific guidelines, so a certificate issued in Bangladesh reads the same as one issued anywhere else in your fleet’s network.
