MARINEAUDIT

SOLAS regulations provide for two separate methods to obtain the verified gross weight of containers: Method 1 and Method 2. In South Africa, the method used for weighing the container's contents under method 2, is subject to certification and approval as determined by SAMSA. Marine Audit, a division of General & Marine Surveyors has been appointed by SAMSA to offer SOLAS Method 2 certification for exporters who pack goods into shipping containers for carriage on ships. The process is overseen by Marine Surveyor Dave Johnson who has more than thirty years' experience in matters maritime.
