Ключевые тезисы
- Hold and container cleanliness must be inspected and documented before loading.
- Loading moisture determines how much transit condition risk exists.
- Photographic evidence at loading and discharge underpins any claim.
Pre-loading condition
Holds and containers must be clean, dry, odour-free and free of residues from previous cargo. A pre-loading inspection certificate is inexpensive relative to the value of a contaminated cargo.
Moisture and self-heating
Material loaded above safe moisture continues biological activity in transit, generating heat and moisture and producing caking, mould and quality loss. Loading moisture specification is the primary control.
Evidence for claims
Pre-loading inspection, seal numbers, loading photographs, temperature records where used, and discharge condition photographs. Without these, an insurance or supplier claim is a matter of assertion.

Частые вопросы
Who pays for pre-loading inspection?
Usually the party carrying the risk at loading, which the Incoterm determines. It is a routine and low-cost line item relative to the exposure it manages.
What should be recorded at discharge?
Seal integrity, cargo appearance, moisture or caking evidence, packaging condition and any odour, all photographed and noted on the delivery documentation before acceptance.
