Remote Vanning Inspections: Revolutionizing Cargo Compliance with Nordwatch Solutions
In global logistics, ensuring that cargo is securely loaded into containers—a process known as vanning—is crucial to maintaining cargo safety, regulatory compliance, and avoiding costly delays at ports. A vanning inspection, or container stuffing inspection, involves a detailed examination of how goods are packed, secured, and documented before shipment. This critical process ensures cargo reaches its destination safely, efficiently, and without regulatory complications.
Understanding Remote Vanning Inspections
Traditional vanning inspections require a physical inspector to be present on-site, checking the arrangement, securing methods, documentation, and markings. However, Nordwatch Solutions transforms this essential inspection process through innovative digital cargo inspections, eliminating the need for physical inspectors on-site.
With Nordwatch’s proprietary cargo inspection platform, clients easily upload detailed photographs or videos showing how their cargo is loaded, secured, lashed, and documented inside containers. Nordwatch’s certified cargo inspectors then remotely evaluate these submissions, meticulously checking compliance with international standards, including ISO container inspection guidelines, CTU Code, and IMDG compliance for dangerous goods.
