Supply and cargo
Our lashing crews secure machinery, heavy equipment, steel structures and breakbulk cargo in Vietnam. We lay dunnage, fit chocks, tension lashings and carry out agreed sea-fastening work on board or at the loading site.
SVC prepares the crew, tools and materials for the cargo and loading window, checks the completed work with the vessel or appointed surveyor, and records the securing arrangement before sailing.
Work packages
Our lashing teams carry out dunnage, chocking, lashing and sea-fastening for project cargo, heavy equipment and breakbulk shipments.
01
Send the cargo and loading details to our cargo lashing team. We review the work location, material requirements, crew and shifts, then quote the securing scope and completion records.
02
We secure equipment on its agreed stowage footprint, with dunnage, chocking and lashings suited to the cargo base and securing points. The work package identifies fragile parts, hoses, coatings and areas where direct contact is restricted.
Our crew positions dunnage and restraints for steel structures, frames and other industrial units. The loading sequence and available working space determine when each unit can be secured and checked.
Cargo may need timber separation, edge protection, chains, wire or webbing, and temporary steel restraints. We prepare the specified materials and carry out the arrangement agreed for that shipment.
03
Dunnage and chocks form part of the working arrangement, rather than an afterthought once the cargo is loaded. Our crew lays the specified timber or other bearing material, checks its position against the cargo footprint and fits the agreed chocks.
We check for uneven bearing, unprotected edges, contact with sensitive equipment and changes to the planned cargo position. A mismatch is raised with the responsible vessel or survey party before that part of the work continues.
04
The material list identifies the chains, wire, turnbuckles, shackles, webbing, timber, steel and welding consumables required for the agreed arrangement. Sizes, grades, quantities and requested certificates are checked before mobilisation.
SVC records what is available, ordered, short or rejected, assigns the materials to the cargo units and raises shortages or proposed substitutions before field work. The quotation states which materials SVC supplies and which are supplied by the vessel or cargo owner.
05
For an agreed sea-fastening scope, our welders and fitters install the specified temporary stoppers, brackets or fabricated steel restraints. The job is planned against the drawings, vessel structure, work location and hot-work conditions.
Welding starts after the relevant vessel, port or terminal permits are in place. No-weld areas, coatings, nearby equipment and fire-watch requirements are included in the work brief. Where formal engineering calculations or a survey approval are required, the appointed engineering or survey party supplies that basis; SVC carries out the agreed physical work.
06
Cargo weight, centre of gravity, bearing points and securing points must be identified for the arrangement. Vessel information includes the hold or deck location, available strong points, stowage plan and applicable Cargo Securing Manual requirements.
Our supervisor checks those instructions against the location where the crew will work. Deck limits, missing data, a changed cargo orientation or an unsuitable securing point are referred for resolution. We do not infer deck capacity or the cargo centre of gravity from a photograph.
07
The supervisor briefs the crew on cargo units, loading order, materials, access and the required finish time. Welders, fitters and fire watch are included where the scope calls for them.
The crew lays dunnage, fits chocks and restraints, installs the specified lashings and completes permitted fabrication or welding. The supervisor checks the work as loading advances.
We check lashings, chocks, restraints and cargo protection, make agreed adjustments, and close the vessel or survey comments within the appointed scope. Photographs and the completion record identify the work delivered.
08
The agreed record documents the actual securing work and any outstanding item. It gives the principal a usable job closeout, rather than an unlabelled folder of photographs.
09
For Son Duong and Vung Ang enquiries, send the terminal, cargo units and loading programme so we can plan manpower and materials against the site. Our Vung Ang shipping page sets out the related cargo and port work.
The published Dung Quat job demonstrates our securing work for industrial equipment in Central Vietnam. See shipping from Dung Quat when lashing forms part of the wider shipment.
We also assess cargo lashing at Nghi Son, Hai Phong, Hon Gai, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City and Cai Mep - Thi Vai, as well as shipyards and fabrication sites. Crew attendance is confirmed for the actual location, access, material supply and working date.
10
SVC's lashing crew secured equipment and industrial project cargo at Dung Quat, Quang Ngai. The team checked cargo particulars and the practical securing requirements, then carried out the appointed field work.
Read the project cargo lashing and securing case at Dung Quat. It shows a completed job; the wider port coverage on this service page describes the work we assess for a new enquiry.
11
If the shipment also needs vessel selection, freight terms or loading attendance, describe those requirements with the lashing enquiry. Our project cargo shipping, breakbulk shipping and vessel chartering pages cover those workstreams.
For on-site loading checks and principal reporting, see port captaincy in Vietnam. The quotation separates the securing work, cargo-operation attendance and transport scope so the deliverables are clear.
12
Removal at discharge is quoted as a separate job. It may include releasing lashings, cutting temporary restraints, removing sea-fastening steel, grinding temporary welds and collecting materials.
Send the discharge location, securing drawings or photographs, access conditions and required restoration scope. Cutting and hot work remain subject to the permissions and conditions at that location.
13
Yes. Our crew carries out the agreed securing work for machinery and heavy equipment, using the cargo weight, centre of gravity, stowage position and securing basis provided for the job.
The work package states the materials SVC supplies and those provided by the vessel or cargo owner. We check quantities, specifications and requested certificates, and flag shortages before mobilisation.
Yes, where welding and fabrication are included in the scope and permitted at the worksite. The arrangement, vessel restrictions, hot-work permits and fire-watch requirements are agreed before that work starts.
It records the cargo units, materials fitted, completed arrangement, photographs and any outstanding items. Physical execution and reporting are separate from formal engineering calculations or master, class or marine warranty survey approval required for the shipment.
De-lashing and sea-fastening removal can be quoted separately against the discharge location, access, securing arrangement and restoration requirements.
Please provide your company details and the vessel requirement or work scope. Acceptance is subject to verification and confirmation by SVC Marine.
