Preparation:
The loading supervisor needs to familiarize themselves with the relevant information of the goods being loaded, such as the name, category, dangerous goods code, UN number, packaging requirements, and transportation precautions.
Confirm that all relevant declaration documents are complete, such as the dangerous goods packaging certificate, MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet), and maritime inspection report.
Inspection tools, such as cameras, measuring tapes, pens, and whiteboard markers, are used for recording and labeling.
Container Inspection:
External Inspection: Check the exterior of the container for damage, deformation, dents, etc., and ensure the container number is clearly legible.
Internal Inspection: Open the container door and enter the container for inspection. Confirm that the interior is clean, dry, and odorless, and check for light or water leaks. Inspect the container walls and bottom for damage or corrosion.
Cargo Inspection:
Quantity Verification: Verify the quantity and number of pieces of cargo against the declared information based on the packing list or relevant documents.
Packaging Inspection: Check that the packaging of the cargo meets the requirements, that the packaging containers are intact, and that there are no leaks or damage.
Cargo Condition Inspection: Check the appearance of the cargo for any abnormalities, such as dampness, deformation, or discoloration.
Loading Supervision:
Loading Sequence Guidance: If multiple types of cargo are mixed, guide workers to load them in the prescribed order.
Cargo Placement Supervision: Supervise workers to distribute the cargo evenly within the container, avoiding concentration on one side or end. The weight of cargo within half the container length should not exceed 60% of the total weight of the cargo inside the container.
Securing Inspection: Check the securing of the cargo. Both loose cargo and palletized cargo must be properly secured. All six points on the mesh should be secured. For palletized cargo, additional hazard labels should be affixed around the perimeter of the container to prevent movement or falling during transport.
Photography Recording: Empty Container Photography: Take photos of the empty container before loading, including a panoramic view of the interior and the container number, ensuring the photos clearly show the container's condition.
Photographing the Loading Process:
During the loading process, photos should be taken at several stages, including when the container is half-loaded, fully loaded, and when the cargo is secured with hazardous material netting. Each photo should include the inspector, the corresponding container number, and the loading process, clearly showing the placement of the goods and hazardous material labels on the packaging.
Photographing Container Door Closure: Take a photo when the container door is half-closed, clearly showing the container number; take a photo after loading is complete and the door is closed; take a photo when the seal is locked, clearly showing the seal number.
Document Signing and Handover:
Signing the Container Loading Certificate: After loading is complete, confirm that all requirements are met and sign the "Container Loading Certificate," certifying that the loading process complies with relevant safety technical requirements.
Document Compilation and Handover: Compile the loading photos and relevant declaration documents and hand them over to relevant departments or personnel, such as freight forwarders and shipping companies, for subsequent maritime declarations and other related work.
