Blocking & Bracing
Service Details
Blocking & Bracing
Precision-engineered cargo stabilization to eliminate movement and prevent damage during the most turbulent journeys.
Even the best-packaged goods can be compromised if they shift during transit. Decency Shipping’s Blocking and Bracing service is a specialized safety protocol designed to counteract the G-forces, vibrations, and tilting experienced during sea swells, air turbulence, or sudden braking on the road.
We treat every container as a custom engineering project. Our team uses high-grade dunnage, timber, and specialized lashing systems to "lock" your cargo into place. This service is essential for heavy machinery, fragile glass, high-value electronics, and any irregularly shaped equipment that does not naturally fit the dimensions of a standard container.
Key Features & Benefits:
Custom Engineered Solutions: Every load is analyzed for its center of gravity to determine the most effective bracing points.
Premium Materials: We use heat-treated (ISPM 15) timber, heavy-duty air bags, and high-tensile polyester strapping to ensure maximum hold.
Damage Prevention: Significantly reduces insurance claims and "hidden" costs associated with cargo shifting and surface abrasions.
Compliance with International Standards: Our methods meet all IMO (International Maritime Organization) and regional transport safety regulations.
Load Stress Analysis: Strategically placing dunnage to distribute weight evenly, protecting both your goods and the structural integrity of the container.
