Tarpaulin covering and shrink wrapping are essential techniques used in maritime logistics to protect cargo from environmental risks and ensure safe transport. At Kuzey Marine Survey, we provide tailored protection solutions designed specifically for the structure and sensitivity of each cargo type. Our team applies international standards, ensuring that cargo remains secure, stable and protected at all stages of transportation.

Cargo shipped by sea may be affected by humidity, salt, wind, sunlight, and mechanical impacts. Tarpaulin and shrink applications act as a durable barrier, reducing damage risks and preserving the cargo’s physical integrity throughout the journey.

Tarpaulin covering is ideal for protecting heavy machinery, project cargo, open deck shipments, and sensitive industrial equipment. We use reinforced PVC and polyester tarpaulins with high tensile strength, engineered to withstand weather fluctuations and mechanical stress.

Our tarpaulin covering process includes:

• Detailed cargo inspection and measurement

• Selection of appropriate tarpaulin material

• Reinforcement of edges and sharp corners

• Proper stretching and securing of covers

• Wind-resistance optimization

• Final inspection and quality validation

Shrink wrapping is one of the most effective protective methods, offering a tight, form-fitting barrier around cargo. Using heat-treated shrink film, we ensure complete encapsulation of the load, preventing moisture, dust, UV exposure, and physical abrasion.

The shrink wrapping process includes:

• Surface preparation and padding

• Application of high-density shrink film

• Heat sealing of joint areas

• Controlled shrinking using hot air equipment

• Final tension and durability tests
