Receipt, unpacking and storage
Upon accepting shipment of the equipment, the shipyard and/or the dealer must ensure that the delivery is complete and inspect each shipping container for evidence of physical damage.
If the inspection reveals any indication of crushing, dropping, immersion in water or any other form of damage, the recipient should request that a representative from the company used to transport the equipment be present during unpacking.
All equipment must be inspected for physical damage, i.e. broken controls and indicators, dents, scratches etc. during unpacking. If any damage to the equipment is discovered, the recipient must notify both the transportation company and Kongsberg Maritime so that Kongsberg Maritime can arrange for replacement or repair of the damaged equipment.
Once unpacked, the equipment must be stored in a controlled environment with an atmosphere free of corrosive agents, excessive humidity or temperature extremes.
The equipment must be covered to protect it from dust and other forms of contamination when stored.
