KAJOTE General Superintendence Co. Ltd successfully conducted discharging supervision and draft survey inspection for the vessel MV. ZIMRIDA, which called at port to discharge bagged ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
Ammonium nitrate is a highly sensitive and regulated cargo, requiring strict control throughout discharge operations to ensure safety, cargo integrity, and full compliance with port and international handling standards. KAJOTE’s experienced survey team was present on-site to oversee the entire operation, providing independent assurance to all stakeholders.
Discharging Supervision of Bagged Fertilizer Cargo
During the discharge of MV. ZIMRIDA, KAJOTE surveyors closely monitored cargo handling from vessel holds to shore reception, ensuring that bags were discharged in a safe and systematic manner. Particular attention was given to:
-
Condition of bags upon opening of holds
-
Identification of torn, wet, or damaged bags
-
Handling methods to minimise breakage and spillage
-
Compliance with safety and security protocols due to the nature of ammonium nitrate
Any irregularities observed were promptly documented and communicated in accordance with standard survey procedures.
Draft Survey Inspection & Quantity Verification
KAJOTE carried out draft survey inspections at relevant stages of the operation to accurately determine the quantity of cargo discharged. Draft readings, ballast conditions, and vessel stability parameters were carefully observed and recorded, ensuring precise quantity determination.
Through the application of internationally recognised draft survey methodologies, KAJOTE provided transparent and reliable figures, supporting confidence between shippers, receivers, and port operators.
Safety, Compliance, and Professional Assurance
Given the sensitive nature of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, strict adherence to safety, environmental, and operational regulations was maintained throughout the operation. KAJOTE worked in close coordination with vessel officers, terminal staff, and stevedores to ensure smooth execution of discharge activities without incident.
The MV. ZIMRIDA assignment was completed efficiently, reinforcing KAJOTE’s reputation for accuracy, independence, and operational excellence in fertilizer and bulk cargo inspections.
