Containerization: Container Loading, Blocking, Bracing, Stuffing and Stripping

Improper container packing can result in significant liability for shippers. In fact, damage caused to other containers or the vessel due to incorrect loading are the responsibility of the shipper—and such losses are typically not covered by cargo insurance. DGM specializes in container loading services and container blocking and bracing, providing end-to-end containerization services that ensure your shipments arrive.

Preparing a container for international shipment involves meticulous planning and adherence to regulatory standards. For instance, all lumber used in international shipping must be ISPM-15 certified. DGM is proud to be fully compliant with ISPM-15 requirements.

Critical Factors for Effective Container Loading

Several critical factors must be considered before loading a container, including:

• Weight Distribution
• Space Utilization
• Climate Variation
• Cargo Compatibility

Failure to properly load cargo can result in damage, delays, and costly claims. Our containerization methodology is designed to prevent cargo shifting, reduce the risk of rejection at ports, and eliminate expenses associated with double handling.
