Stevedoring

Stevedoring

Stevedoring refers to the labor and operations involved in loading and unloading cargo from ships at a port. It encompasses a variety of tasks and duties related to handling goods, including the movement of cargo from the ship to the dock or from the dock to the ship. Stevedoring can involve both manual labor and the use of earthmoving equipment such as excavators, material handling machines, pay loaders and tippers, and other machinery to move cargo efficiently. Stevedoring services seek to minimize port time and ensure the safety of cargo and ship.

For the shipping company and the ship, runtime at the sea is profitable when it is carrying cargo between ports but while docked at the port, delays contribute to downtime and add to the operating costs of the ship. Accordingly, our Company aims to minimize the port time of our customer’s ships, and we continually aim to work efficiently toward faster turnaround times for our operations. Further, Safety and security of cargo and the ship is an essential part of our stevedoring services

We also offer onboard stevedoring services. Onboard stevedoring refers to the process of cargo handling, loading, and unloading directly on a ship while it is still at sea. Onboard stevedoring plays a vital role in the shipping industry, particularly for dry bulk cargo. It involves managing the loading, unloading, and secure stowing of cargo within the ship, often with specialized equipment and techniques. Ensuring efficiency and safety during onboard stevedoring requires careful planning, skilled labor, effective equipment, and strict adherence to safety regulations.
