Introduction
Cargo which may be loose, granular, free-flowing or solid, such as grain, coal, and ore, and is shipped in bulk rather than in package form. Dry bulk cargo is usually handled by specialized mechanical handling equipment at specially designed dry bulk terminals; therefore the dry bulk surveyor should be in position to:
- Practice a draft survey to determine the cargo quantity loaded or discharged from vessel.
- Hold inspection for cargo suitability and water tightness before loading.
- Practice a pre-shipment survey of cargo to determine the cargo readiness and sampling for quality test.
- Do an inspection of cargo before discharging from vessel and sampling for quality test.
Our course is fully covering these areas and more.
