Pre-Trip Inspections (PTI) Services in Sri Lanka

Once on a ship, reefer containers must perform flawlessly to ensure that the cargo reaches its destination without deterioration in quality that could arise from malfunctioning in the reefer unit. Pre-Trip Inspections (PTI) on reefer containers are a mandatory procedure undertaken to ensure that all parameters are working well before the container is handed over to the shipper for loading the cargo.

A pre-trip inspection is conducted on an empty reefer container to ensure the correct functioning of the cooling unit, temperature control, and recording devices. PTI is a detailed inspection of the container done by our reefer technicians to ensure that the container is clean and that the system is in perfect working condition, and doesn’t need any repair work done before shipping goods.

Pre-trip inspection of a reefer container includes:

• Checking for Cleaning (dirt and odor removal)
• Inspection of container interior (to make sure it meets customer requirement criteria)
• Checking of all machinery such as cooling equipment
• Checking door seals and locks are in a good condition
• After the inspection, the time and date is documented and attached to the container’s label
