It is "correct" in a sense, but it seems to me like it is a run-on sentence. How about:

If possible, please advance the inspection a day earlier in order to catch the vessel that closes on June 30th. This would prevent a traffic jam before the public holiday on July 1st.

Note: both 30th June and June 30th are correct. It depends on either the British or American preference, respectively. Also, the 0 before the 1 in 01 July is rather unneccessary, not to mention uncommon.

I hope this helped. Best of luck.
