Crating and palletizing are essential procedures that ensure cargo protection throughout international logistics operations. Regardless of the transport mode—sea, road, rail, or air—every shipment requires reliable packaging and stabilization to minimize risks, prevent damage, and support cost-effective operations. At Kuzey Marine Survey, we offer engineered crating and palletizing solutions tailored to unique cargo characteristics, ensuring maximum safety at every stage of transport.

These solutions are essential for fragile, oversized, high-value, sensitive, or irregularly shaped cargo. With precise planning, the right materials, and experienced surveyors, the crating and palletizing process becomes a robust protection mechanism that safeguards cargo during handling and transportation.

Crating involves enclosing cargo in engineered wooden or composite boxes designed to protect it from environmental and mechanical stress. The process is far more comprehensive than simply placing a load into a wooden container; it requires engineering knowledge and a deep understanding of logistics conditions.

Crating Process Steps

• Cargo Assessment & Risk Analysis
  Each cargo’s sensitivity, dimensions, weight, center of gravity, and transport route are examined in detail.

• Material Selection
  ISPM 15–certified wood, plywood, steel reinforcements, waterproof membranes, foams, vibration-damping systems, and protective coatings are selected as needed.

• Custom Crate Engineering
  Designs include internal supports, load distribution components, and structural reinforcements.

• Packaging & Securing
  Cargo is positioned inside the crate, internal support is installed, and the crate is sealed.

Crating is key for electronics, machinery, engines, glass products, defense equipment, and project cargo of all types.

Palletizing Service: Standardized and Safe Handling

Palletizing ensures cargo is stacked, stabilized, and secured on a controlled platform, improving handling efficiency and preventing damage during transport.

Professional Palletizing Practices

• Proper pallet type selection

• Weight-distribution engineering

• Stretch wrapping, strapping, shrink wrapping

• Customs-compliant pallet marking

• Tiered stacking systems

Palletizing is ideal for commercial goods, food cartons, drums, machine parts, and containerized shipments.

Kuzey Marine Survey not only prepares crates and pallets but also ensures that these loads are properly secured during sea, road, and containerized transport. Lashing complements crating and palletizing by eliminating load shifts, tilting, or collapse risks.
