What is lighterage?

Efficient Deep Sea Lighterage Solutions with IMGS Group

Actively involved in cargo operations, IMGS Group excels in ship-to-ship or ship-to-barge transfers, predominantly carried out at the outer anchorage. Furthermore, we boast the capability to handle virtually any type of cargo. However, this intricate process demands meticulous planning and coordination. When it comes to lightening bulk cargo, we employ cutting-edge equipment such as Vacuvators, Marine Legs, or Large capacity Grabs, tailoring our approach to precisely match the unique operational and cargo requirements.

Port Restrictions such as LOA or Draft may not allow the vessel to berth.
Heavy congestion at Port of discharge and waiting of vessel may be costly.
Fast discharge: Quite often particularly in underdeveloped ports discharge speeds are slow at discharge ports. By controlling equipment and operation we can achieve faster and improved production and vessel turnaround.
Security issues at discharge ports may render port unsafe for discharge; thereby cargo can be efficiently transferred at anchorage.
