How Containers are Loaded on a Full Container Ship<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes, customers ask us to have the steamship line load containers on a ship\u2019s deck, or on top of all other containers to avoid risking cargo being squeezed and damaged due to collective container weight. Unfortunately, these requests are out of our control.<\/p>\n

In this article, you will learn how containers are loaded onto vessels, what types of parameters and constraints there are when loading, and why there is such a specific loading process.<\/p>\n

Overview of the structure of a container ship.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every stowage takes the structure of the ship into account. Thinking about the ship as the \u201ccontainer\u201d where the objects must be inserted, it is clear that its shape, size and load capacity are the first pieces of data necessary to solve the stowage puzzle.<\/p>\n

The below figure shows the structure of a full container ship, through a horizontal and vertical cross section. We can see that each cross-section of the ship, or bay, is made up of a fixed number of locations, called cells, of measurement and number varying according to the ship\u2019s configuration. Each cell is identified by three indices, each consisting of two digits, which give it its position in three dimensions, in particular:<\/p>\n
