Securing cargo on board: Stevedoring and lashing
Together with our associated company Schultze Stevedoring GmbH & Co. KG, BLG offers on-board load securing services in all the ports on the Weser river. From heavy cargo to valuable steel, rollable or self-propelled units, vehicles of all kind to easily damaged forestry products, we are your reliable and experienced partner in the whole spectrum of consulting, planning and implementation of lashing concepts. We would be happy to carry out operational stevedoring and lashing work for you. Professional stevedoring is the first requirement for the safety of ship and crew – not to mention the cargo.
Facilities and equipment for stevedoring and lashing on board
Our experience stevedoring teams can utilize a large range of equipment. In their work, they have access not only to the usual slinging gear such as chains, transverse beams, crossbars etc., but also to special equipment for complex loading. And when confronted with a cargo that can't be handled with conventional gear, we create tailor-made equipment. With the optimal facilities consisting of mobile harbor crane, heavy lift trucks, unloading cranes and lift trucks, we rise to any cargo handling challenge.
Additionally, if your transport departs via the Weser river, on request we can even accompany your cargo to the port of discharge, where our supercargoes will ensure it is handled professionally.
