Why are container inspections so important?

Here’s why container inspections are so important:

• Inspections help to prevent illegal activities such as stolen or unauthorized goods. They serve as a line of defense against threats such as terrorism and the spread of dangerous materials.
• By verifying the structural integrity of containers, inspections prevent accidents and potential damage to cargo, ships, and port facilities.
• Ensure that shipments adhere to customs regulations and international trade agreements.
• Inspections help to ensure the safety and quality of imported goods as they reach consumers. This protects against potentially harmful or fake products.

Container inspection checklist

Here’s a basic container inspection checklist that can be customized based on your specific needs and the type of container being inspected:

• External Inspection

• • Check for any visible damage to the exterior of the container, including punctures, scratches, or signs of corrosion.
  • Inspect the doors for proper alignment, functionality, and locking mechanisms.
  • Look for any signs of rust or corrosion on the exterior surfaces.
  • Check the condition of the seals around doors and windows to ensure they are intact and waterproof.
  • Inspect the underside of the container for any damage or signs of wear.

• Interior Inspection:

  • Examine the cleanliness of the interior, including the floors, walls, and ceiling.
  • Look for any signs of moisture, leaks, or water damage inside the container.
  • Check for evidence of pests, such as droppings or nesting materials.
  • Verify that all interior lights and electrical outlets are functional, if applicable.

• Structural Integrity:

• • Inspect the structural integrity of the container, paying attention to the frame, walls, and roof.
  • Look for evidence of corrosion or rust on structural components.

• Functional Inspection:

• • Test the functionality of any mechanical or hydraulic systems, such as loading ramps or hydraulic doors.
  • Verify that ventilation systems are operational and free of obstructions.
  • Test the functionality of any climate control systems, such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.

7-point container inspection

The 7-point container inspection is a quick way to ensure the basic safety and security of a container. Before the container is shipped or unloaded, it is a quick and accurate way to find any serious problems. Here are the 7 key points we use to check containers:

1. Undercarriage: inspect it before going into the store.
2. Outside and inside doors and locks: Ensure the doors function properly, close securely, and have no visible damage to frames or locking mechanisms. Check for signs of loose bolts.
3. Right and Left Walls: Briefly inspect both sides of the container for unusual repairs or signs of hidden areas.
4. Front Wall: Verify that the front wall is made of the expected material and doesn’t have any major damage.
5. Ceiling/Roof: Look for any issues with the container’s roof, such as damage or missing support beams.
6. Interior Floor: Ensure the floor is flat, clean, and free of unusual stains or smells. Check for signs of damage.
7. Seal Verification: Verify that the container’s seals are correctly installed, undamaged, and correspond to the information that was recorded about them.

This seven-point inspection aids in identifying any obvious issues that might compromise the security of cargo transportation. Ensure a smooth and secure journey for your cargo with Teda Royal’s trusted container inspection services and warehouse and shipping services.
