Palletised soil, discharged and reloaded to road transport.
Amongst the various cargoes Solent Stevedores has been asked to handle in recent times, one of the most interesting and challenging involved a consignment of bagged soil. Handling this cargo harked back to the less mechanised days of stevedoring.
Drawing on the experience of the Solent Stevedores Cargo Supervisors, along with the expertise and enthusiasm of supporting staff including crane drivers, hatchway men and machine drivers, the cargo was discharged and re-loaded to road transport within the planned time frame.
As the cargo required specialist banding onto pallets, a neighbouring logistics company, Pentalver Transport, was subcontracted and worked closely with Solent Stevedores staff to successfully complete the task.
