Containership cargo stowage and planning - Preparation for Out of Gauge Container Stowage
Out of gauge containers are usually stowed underdeck and in case of an On Deck Stow, careful consideration will be required. Local planner or agent may be requested for such approval prior loading.
Hatch cover clearance and Cell guide clearance must be verified to confirm that there will be no damage to the vessel or cargo when loaded.
Appropriate number of slots must be kept vacant to accommodate the OOG cargo as necessary.
