Container loading and unloading inspection process
Any container loading and unloading supervision starts with a container inspection. If the container is in good shape and the goods are 100% packed and confirmed, then the loading and unloading inspection process continues. The inspector verifies that the correct goods were packed and that all of the client’s specifications were met. While the loading and unloading of the container commences, the inspector verifies that the correct unit amount is being loaded and unloaded.
