Cargo inspections

Kaiko Systems has launched a product to provide a more efficient process for charterers and crews to ensure cargo holds are prepared effectively for loading. "Kaiko CharterReady" analyses inspection data to identify potential issues and streamline operations, reducing risk of cargo hold rejection and enhancing transparency for stakeholders. With an estimated 12,000 bulk carriers operating across the globe, small mistakes in cargo hold preparation can result in delays, damage claims and financial loss. Traditionally, cargo readiness assessments were managed through Excel-based reports, making the process time-consuming and prone to errors.
