Project cargo includes oversized, heavy, irregularly shaped and high-value equipment that requires custom engineering before transportation. Turbines, wind energy components, generators, industrial machinery, construction modules and similar units cannot be transported safely without a precisely designed securing system. Project cargo lashing is the process of stabilizing such loads using specialized binding techniques, structural calculations and certified equipment. At Kuzey Marine Survey, our service focuses on engineering-driven planning, risk assessment and international maritime standards to ensure safe transport in all conditions.

The core of our operation is a detailed engineering assessment. Our team analyses the load’s center of gravity, mass distribution, lifting points and contact surfaces to design a customized “Project Cargo Lashing Plan.” This plan includes securing angles, equipment capacities, environmental load factors, pad–eye positioning and reinforcement requirements.

During application, high-capacity chains, tensioners, heavy-duty slings, steel securing clamps, ratchet systems and customized brackets are used. Sensitive surfaces are protected by wooden chocks, rubber pads, anti-slip layers and specially designed buffers. Every securing point is installed according to international guidelines such as IMO, CSS Code and transport engineering standards.

Our technicians ensure that the cargo remains fully immobilized in all axes. Chain tension, symmetry, anchor points and dynamic load resistance are continuously monitored during the installation. If needed, multi-directional securing systems are reinforced or redesigned on-site to guarantee maximum stability throughout the voyage.

Once the lashing operation is completed, our surveyors carry out a full inspection of each securing element. Stability checks include tensions, chain integrity, surface protection, structural supports and overall cargo behavior under dynamic conditions. A comprehensive photo-supported “Project Cargo Lashing Survey Report” is issued afterward.

This report is vital for shipowners, shippers, charterers and insurers as it serves as a formal verification of safe cargo securing. Upon request, discharge port un-lashing supervision is also provided to prevent damage during release operations. Kuzey Marine Survey ensures a risk-free process for the transportation of high-value industrial cargo through tailored, engineering-focused securing solutions.
