Supply and cargo
SVC Marine carries out cargo lashing, securing, dunnage, chocking and selected sea-fastening work for project cargo, heavy equipment, machinery, steel structures and breakbulk shipments in Vietnam.
We prepare manpower, tools and securing materials, execute the agreed securing arrangement, follow vessel or survey comments and provide completion evidence before sailing.
Work packages
Our lashing teams carry out dunnage, chocking, lashing and sea-fastening for project cargo, heavy equipment and breakbulk shipments.
01
Cargo lashing and securing is the physical restraint of cargo against movement during transportation. Depending on the cargo and vessel, securing may use dunnage, chocking, chains, wire ropes, turnbuckles, shackles, webbing, anti-slip material, welded stoppers or other approved arrangements.
For marine transport, the arrangement must account for cargo weight, dimensions, centre of gravity, stowage position, available securing points, vessel motion, contact surfaces and the applicable vessel, engineering or survey requirements.
SVC Marine executes selected cargo securing work in Vietnam using field manpower, materials and vessel-side attendance. Where formal securing calculations or sea-fastening engineering are required, the approved technical basis must be provided or separately arranged.
Physical execution of lashing or sea fastening does not make SVC Marine the engineering designer, approving naval architect, classification society or Marine Warranty Surveyor.
02
Unknown cargo weight or centre of gravity can materially affect the securing method.
Centre of gravity is not assumed to sit at the geometric centre. Where COG is not supplied, this is raised before the securing arrangement is fixed.
03
Deck strength, tank-top strength or securing-point capacity is never assumed from visual appearance. Formal verification may require vessel drawings, owner information or engineering review.
04
Before mobilisation, the execution team must know which document or instruction controls the work.
Where applicable to the vessel and cargo type.
For heavy, oversized or project cargo.
For welded stoppers, foundations or fabricated securing structures.
Where an MWS is appointed for the shipment.
For operational acceptance onboard.
Where a surveyor is appointed by the cargo or vessel interest.
For complex or heavy cargo, verbal instruction alone is not treated as a sufficient securing basis. The controlling document is identified before the work package is priced and executed.
05
Where securing calculations are required, the appropriately qualified party prepares or approves them for the actual cargo, vessel and voyage.
06
Lashing should not be used to compensate for poor cargo support.
07
Ordinary timber chocking is not treated as suitable for every heavy cargo. The blocking method is selected against the actual unit weight, base condition and securing basis.
08
Material certificates and working load limits are checked against the securing requirements for the components used.
09
Clip quantity and spacing follow the applicable standard or manufacturer requirements for the wire used on the job.
10
Webbing is not automatically suitable for heavy project cargo. Its capacity and application must suit the cargo, the stowage position and the securing requirement.
11
No welding is performed onto vessel structure solely because it is convenient. Location and method must be accepted by the responsible vessel and technical parties.
Where required, engineering, class, the Marine Warranty Surveyor, the owner and the master or chief officer review the arrangement before execution.
12
The list above is indicative, not a universal hot work procedure. The vessel, port, terminal and responsible safety parties control the actual permit process.
13
One generic lashing arrangement is not applied across all machinery. Each unit is secured against its own weight, base condition, movable parts and stowage position.
14
Steel coil securing is treated as a separate technical scope and is confirmed case by case rather than included automatically under general steel cargo.
15
SVC Marine executes the field scope after the required technical basis is established.
16
Register fieldWhat it controls Material
Size, grade and type required by the securing basis.
Derived from the securing arrangement and cargo unit count.
What is physically on site or confirmed for delivery.
New, serviceable, worn or rejected on inspection.
Where required by the securing basis or the appointed surveyor.
Which unit, which side, which securing point.
SVC Marine does not hold permanent stock of every lashing material. Availability is confirmed per job, and substitutes are proposed to the client rather than installed silently.
17
No fixed labour ratio is applied to a job before the cargo and sequence are known.
18
19
The field team checks and adjusts the lashings before handover. The vessel carries out the applicable checks during the voyage.
20
Dunnage and support installed.
Chocking and blocking completed.
Welding and stoppers completed where applicable.
Master, chief officer, surveyor, MWS or client comments closed where applicable.
SVC Marine does not independently approve cargo for sea passage. Completion reporting records what was executed and what remains open; acceptance rests with the responsible vessel, survey or appointed parties.
21
Client cargo drawings and confidential shipment documents are not published without written permission.
22
Hot work and vessel approval remain applicable at discharge. De-lashing at the discharge port is not automatically included in a loading-port quotation unless separately agreed.

Son Duong and Vung Ang are the main manpower base. Mobilisation elsewhere is planned against the project schedule, access, materials and available workforce.

SVC Marine carries out the commissioned physical securing work on site.
The team understands vessel access, loading sequence, master and chief officer comments and sailing deadlines.
Selected jobs can combine lashing materials, dunnage, chocking and fabricated sea-fastening work.
Larger operations may be linked with cargo-operation attendance and principal reporting.
The same project may connect with vessel chartering, breakbulk or project cargo transport.
29
SVC Marine performs physical cargo securing work within the agreed work scope and technical basis.
The vessel master and responsible officers retain vessel command and voyage responsibilities.
Where engineering calculations, Cargo Securing Manual compliance review, deck-strength verification, class approval or Marine Warranty Survey approval are required, these remain with the appropriately appointed responsible parties unless separately agreed.
SVC Marine may follow their requirements and execute the approved field work.

Yes. SVC Marine executes selected cargo lashing, securing, dunnage, chocking and sea-fastening work for project cargo, machinery, heavy equipment, steel and breakbulk shipments.
SVC plans the team size and shifts against the cargo units, loading sequence, welding requirements and agreed completion time.
Yes, subject to cargo weight, COG, securing points, vessel arrangement and the approved or agreed securing basis.
Selected materials may be sourced and supplied as part of the work package, subject to specification and availability.
Selected welding and fabricated securing work may be performed where technically appropriate and permitted by the vessel, port or terminal and relevant responsible parties.
Formal securing calculations or sea-fastening engineering should be performed by the appropriately qualified or appointed engineering party where required. SVC Marine can execute the resulting approved field arrangement.
At minimum, provide cargo dimensions, weight, quantity, photographs, location, vessel or loading information and the expected working date. COG, drawings and securing plans should be provided where applicable.
Yes. This is SVC Marine's strongest lashing manpower base, subject to project schedule, access, safety and workforce allocation.
Yes, selected dunnage and chocking materials and work may be included depending on the cargo and scope.

Yes. The field team can adjust work according to authorized vessel or appointed survey comments within the agreed scope.
Not automatically. Physical execution and completion reporting do not replace any required master, engineer, class, MWS or survey approval.
Selected de-lashing and sea-fastening removal may be arranged separately depending on discharge location and scope.
