Containership cargo stowage and planning - avoid isolated tower of containers remaining on deck If any other irregularities are found in the stowage plan they must be corrected by liaising with Terminal planner / Central planner or local agent. A good example would be an isolated tower of 4 or 5 high remaining on deck after all adjacent containers have been discharged. Such stowage, at Master’s discretion may need correction by shifting some containers of the tower down on deck or elsewhere.
