The meaning of Stevedoring is usually associated with the operations which are done onboard the vessel and interacting with the Master, Chief Officer etc regarding the loading / unloading of cargo. On the other side there is shore handling activities where the cargo is unloaded on the Wharf loaded into vehicles and intercarted to the plot if it is a Import and if it is a Export it is a vice versa.
For the Stevedoring operations we deploy our own equipments like Grabs, Tubs, Slings and Shackles depending upon the type of cargo for loading/unloading from the vessel.
