Container Loading Supervision (CLS)

Marine cargo insurance almost always excludes damage caused by improper loading, stacking, or bracing unless it was documented by a third-party supervisor at the time. Without CLS, insurers routinely deny loading-related claims — our timestamped report is exactly the evidence they require.

Yes — and we recommend it. PSI confirms your goods are made correctly; CLS confirms they're loaded correctly. Together they close the two biggest gaps before your container leaves the country, and bundling the two saves you on the combined fee.

The inspector halts loading on the spot, documents the issue with photos, and requests a correction (for example, a restack or added bracing) before work continues. You're notified immediately so you can decide how to proceed — problems are fixed before the container is sealed, not after damage occurs.

Yes. The inspector counts every carton loaded and reconciles the total against your packing list, so short-shipments or over-shipments are caught and recorded in the report before the seal goes on.

Usually not. Marine cargo policies commonly exclude damage from improper loading, stacking, or bracing unless a third-party supervisor documented conditions at the time. CLS gives you the timestamped, photographic evidence insurers require to honor a claim.
