# Inspection of Frozen Cargo

Loading Condition Verified – Arrival Integrity Confirmed

From processing plant to reefer container — physical, chemical and microbiological verification of frozen cargo under HACCP-based procedures.

In frozen cargo, the evidence melts. BCBD inspects where the facts still exist — at the packer’s
premises, at the container yard and at the port — verifying the product, the process and the reefer itself,
before a temperature excursion becomes an unprovable dispute.

## Typical operations

* Inspection of refrigerated containers
* Inspection of the loading / unloading process
* Inspection of the processing plant

## Frequently asked

### Where in Bangladesh does Baltic Control provide inspection of frozen cargo?

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 inspection of frozen cargo?

Method, procedure and standards follow USFDA / CAC / FAO / UN / EU HACCP directives, 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.
