SERVICE

# Container Inspection Services

Inspecting Containers — Protecting Cargo

On/off-hire, interchange, repair and seaworthiness surveys to IICL standards — condition established, photographed and certified before the dispute starts.

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.

## Typical operations

* On / off-hire / direct interchange
* Seal inspection prior to discharge / post-landing
* Inspection of stuffing / de-stuffing / stowage (7-Point Inspection)
* Tally / check of containers at pre-agreed gates / locations
* Pre / post-repair inspection as per IICL standards
* Certification for cargo / seaworthiness / stowage
* Lashing & securing of containers onto the vessel
* Pre-trip inspection
* Inspection of refrigerated containers

## Types of containers

* Dry van
* Refrigerated
* Open tops
* Flat racks
* Tanks

## 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.

## Frequently asked

### Where in Bangladesh does Baltic Control provide container inspection services?

BCBD attends across Chattogram, Mongla, Payra, Benapole, Khulna and ICD Kamalapur — every seaport, land port and inland container depot in Bangladesh. Surveyors are based at our Dhaka head office and at branch offices in Chattogram, Khulna, Mongla, Benapole and ICD Kamalapur, so attendance is arranged locally rather than dispatched from the capital.

### Which standards does BCBD apply for container inspection services?

Method, procedure and standards follow ISO / IICL, and/or your own specific guidelines where a contract, policy wording or letter of credit requires it.

### How quickly can BCBD attend and report?

Nominations are accepted 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and a surveyor is deployed to the site or vessel on instruction. Written enquiries receive a reply within one business day. Baltic Control (BD) Ltd. has operated as an independent inspection company since 1981 and is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
