Loading and unloading
RCT Stevedoring is proud of its highly qualified team. We use nothing but the best equipment to load and/or unload your ships, vessels, trucks and containers. We also dispose of all necessary approved hoisting material, chains, hooks and grippers to correctly and safely handle your particular cargo.
The goods we unload or load are weighed on one of our two weighbridges (up to 60 tons). In this way we are able to report the exact loaded or unloaded quantities to our customers.
