Loading Survey

A Loading Survey is conducted before a yacht or vessel is loaded for transport. Its purpose is to ensure that every securing method, including lashings, cradles, blocks, and hull supports, is properly arranged and suitable for the journey ahead.

It confirms that the vessel is safely and professionally prepared for transport, minimizing the risk of damage during handling or transit.

During the inspection, the surveyor checks the structural integrity of the cradle, evaluates lifting points, and reviews tie-down arrangements to confirm they meet recognized safety and transport standards. The process also includes verifying that the vessel’s hull and fittings are adequately protected and that weight distribution is stable.

By completing a Loading Survey, owners, carriers, and insurers gain assurance that the vessel is correctly secured and ready for a safe, compliant, and damage-free delivery.
