Empty Container Inspection
Before loading starts, the empty container is checked for visible damage, water ingress, strong odor, residue, pests, and other conditions that may compromise the biomass cargo.
Export Logistics Control
Container Loading & Port Operation
A reliable biomass shipment begins long before the vessel departs. TISI coordinates each loading and port-handling stage to protect cargo quality, maintain traceability, and reduce the operational risks that can affect international delivery.
Controlled from container to carrier
Inspection, loading oversight, sealing, documentation, and formal handover are managed as one connected export workflow.
Eight Control Points Before Shipment
Each control point helps minimize contamination, structural damage, loading imbalance, documentation discrepancies, and avoidable delays at the port.
Floor & Wall Condition
The floor, side walls, roof, and door panels are examined for holes, corrosion, sharp edges, protruding nails, or weak sections that could damage packaging or expose cargo to moisture.
Cleanliness Check
The container must be dry, clean, and free from incompatible material. This reduces contamination risk and helps preserve the agreed physical and quality characteristics of the shipment.
Loading Supervision
TISI personnel or appointed inspectors monitor the loading process to verify handling discipline, cargo condition, loading sequence, and compliance with the agreed shipment instructions.
Weight Distribution
Cargo is arranged as evenly as practical to support safe container handling, reduce concentrated floor loads, and help prevent instability during inland transport and terminal movement.
Container Sealing
Once loading is completed and the doors are secured, the container is sealed. The seal number is recorded to support cargo integrity, traceability, and verification at destination.
Port Documentation
Shipment data is coordinated with the required export and terminal documents, including weight information, container and seal references, inspection records, and supporting cargo documentation.
Handover to Shipping Line
The sealed container is formally transferred into the port and shipping-line process, with the relevant references confirmed so the shipment can proceed toward vessel loading and final destination.
Why this process matters
Structured container and port controls improve cargo protection, shipment visibility, and buyer confidence. They also create clearer accountability across the final stages of the biomass export supply chain.
