Carefully Check Stacking Weights in Containership cargo stowage and pre planning
Prior loading cargo, stacking weights of containers must be checked against the allowable stack weights on board the vessel both on deck and under deck. Neglecting above may cause serious damage to ships structure, hull and eventually overall stabilty of ship may get affected.
Maximum allowable stack weights of Tank tops, Hatch covers and Decks shall not be exceeded at any time.
If any stacks are found to be exceeding the allowable stack weights, Terminal planner / Central planner is to be informed and cargo stow plan appropriately modified.
In case such anomaly is noticed after containers have been loaded, the master shall notify all concerned parties and have the condition corrected at the earliest prior departure.
Other factors should be taken into account before accepting a containership cargo stowage plan, :
• Lashing strength
• Dangerous goods stowage and segregation
• Reefer Container Stowage
• Out of Gauge Container Stowage
• Special Container Stowage
• 20’ or 40’ or 45’ Compulsory Stowage Locations
• Irregular Stowage of Containers
• Over-stow of Containers
• Hatch Cover Clearance (High cube containers Under Deck )
• Other matters regarding cargo stowage as necessary
