- Description
- The purpose of the Vessel Loading Observation (VLO) service is to ensure that all cargo lots subject to VLO observation are loaded to vessels in a clean and wholesome condition, without insect or rodent infestation or contamination, and packaged in sound, clean containers. The VLO is intended to provide an added measure of security in the Government?s effort to provide clean, sound commodities to our overseas recipients. The objective of this contract is to minimize the amount of damaged commodities loaded on vessels, enhance the perception of U.S. agricultural commodities overseas, and protect the integrity of the foreign food assistance programs. Cargo is handled with greater care under observation. Damages occurring from the dock, port shed, truck, or rail car to the barge, container, or vessel hold are documented by the VLO Contractor and corrected or removed under the Contractor?s observation.
