###### THE CHALLENGE
###### WHAT WE HEAR MOST OFTEN
##### **PORTS RUN ON EQUIPMENT THAT WORKS FIRST TIME.**
A failed crane, a cracked weld, or a non-compliant cargo gear register can stop a vessel sailing — with consequences that flow straight to the bottom line. The clients who keep moving are the ones whose inspection records are already in order before the auditor turns up.
SHIPS' LIFTING APPLIANCES & CARGO GEAR
Rigging that must be inspected and certified under Maritime Rules Part 49 — with rigging plans, gear registers, and certificates kept current across a working port..
PORT CRANES & SHIP-LOADING EQUIPMENT
Pedestal-mounted cranes, container cranes, and ship-loading equipment needing IANZ-accredited inspection across fabrication, commissioning, in-service, and alterations to PECPR Regs 1999.
NDT ON BULK HANDLING EQUIPMENT
Conveyors, unloaders, and pipework where corrosion, fatigue, and wear are progressive — and where a planned inspection is always cheaper than an unplanned shutdown..
###### HOW DEG HELPS
#### OUR SERVICES FOR MARINE & PORTS.
---
###### Survey & Inspection
##### Maritime Inspections
ISO/IEC 17020 IANZ-accredited inspection of ships' lifting appliances and cargo gear under Maritime Rules Part 49. Pedestal-mounted cranes, union purchase rigs, and container cranes. Maintenance of rigging plans and gear registers. NDT across UT, PAUT, MT, PT, RT, and ET – including UT thickness testing on cargo handling pipework.
###### Calibration & Compliance
##### Proof Testing & Certification
ISO/IEC 17025 IANZ-accredited testing of EWPs, lifting and rigging gear, lever hoists, chains, and wire ropes – proof tested and certified. Calibration of test equipment used in port and marine maintenance.
###### Consulting Engineering
##### Port Infrastructure Engineering
Structural and mechanical engineering on port infrastructure, equipment foundations, and lifting structures. Producer statements. Incident investigation. Expert witness work for maritime and port matters.
###### WHY DEG
#### WHAT SETS US APART.
###### IANZ-ACCREDITED
An IANZ-accredited inspection body with inspectors who have spent decades on the wharf and on the deck
###### LEVEL 3 NDT ACROSS ALL DISCIPLINES
UT, PAUT, MT, PT, RT, and digital radiography – Level 3 certified personnel across all major disciplines. We scope, perform, and audit our own procedures.
###### NATIONWIDE MOBILE TEAMS
Timaru, Lyttelton, Otago, and the upper North Island out of Hamilton – mobile teams who travel to the vessel, the port, or the plant.
###### DUAL IANZ ACCREDITATION
A single accredited provider for cargo gear, lifting equipment, pressure equipment, and instrument calibration – one audit trail across the entire port compliance scope.
###### CASE STUDY
###### HOLCIM NEW ZEALAND ━ TIMARU CEMENT TERMINAL
#### RECURRING INSPECTION & NDT PROGRAMME
Holcim's Timaru port terminal handles cement import, storage, and distribution — including a new clear-span cement storage dome. DEG Survey & Inspection delivers IANZ-accredited magnetic particle testing on the cement unloader, ultrasonic thickness testing on cement supply and delivery pipework, and ongoing equipment certification across the terminal — scheduled around vessel operations.
