Sea Fastening Inspection

One of the most critical stages of any marine transportation project is ensuring equipment is securely prepared for transit.

Libellum provides Sea Fastening Inspection services to verify that cargo, modules and fabricated structures have been safely secured before transportation by sea.

Our inspections help confirm:

• Sea fastening arrangements meet project specifications.
• Weld quality has been completed to the required standards.
• Structural supports have been correctly installed.
• Fabricated restraints are suitable for anticipated transportation loads.
• Inspection records are completed prior to sail-away.

Whether transporting offshore modules, process equipment, fabricated steelwork or specialist machinery, independent sea fastening inspection provides confidence that assets will arrive safely and without unnecessary risk.

Our inspectors work closely with manufacturers, fabricators and contractors to identify issues early, reducing delays and preventing costly problems further into the project.
