1) The document discusses requirements for properly loading, securing, and carrying deck cargoes according to international regulations and codes of safe practice.
2) It highlights causes of losses of deck cargoes including severe weather, lack of appreciation of forces, cost pressures, and inadequate securing.
3) Guidelines are provided for distributing cargo weight evenly, using sufficient and properly oriented dunnage, and employing strong, balanced lashing arrangements. Spreading cargo weight and using dunnage helps prevent damage to the deck and cargo shift.
This document provides guidance on securing cargo containers aboard ships. It begins with an introduction noting that while container ships can now carry containers stacked higher, lashing systems have not developed to secure containers above the third or fourth tier. The failure to properly secure containers has led to increased losses overboard.
It then provides basic advice on best practices for securing containers, such as checking stack weights, using approved lashing plans, inspecting containers and equipment for defects, and adjusting lashings before bad weather. It also lists "do's and don'ts" and dispels common false beliefs about container securing.

Autonomous Mobility for Sustainable Automation - The Turbocharge - PTI JournalAidrivers Ltd.
In the overall architecture of port terminals, there has long been a heavy focus on
investment in upgrading ships and the onwards logistics chain to meet global supply
needs. Now it is time to turn the spotlight
on dockside autonomous mobility to create increased productivity, efficiencies and
crucially sustainable resiliency to establish
ports fit for the future.
Port Automation – Navigating the Underwriting RisksGen Re
With the global economy still unpredictable, industries across the world are striving to protect their profit margins. This is certainly the case for cargo carriers where fluctuating trade volumes and low freight rates continue to fuel the drive for efficiencies.
Straddle carriers are commonly used at ports to transport containers but often experience accidents. To reduce accidents, ports can implement training programs to ensure only authorized operators drive the carriers. Access control systems using ID cards can restrict carrier operation to only trained operators and provide an audit trail of usage. Installing LED floodlights improves visibility and safety compared to traditional lights.
This document discusses ways to reduce accidents involving straddle carriers at ports. Straddle carriers are popular for container handling but traffic incidents are common due to fast-paced work in varied conditions. The document recommends implementing training and authorization for operators, restricting access to only authorized operators through a centralized ID card system, addressing fatigue issues, and installing LED floodlights for better visibility to improve safety. Common causes of straddle carrier accidents identified include collisions with other vehicles and equipment due to poor visibility. Implementing recommendations around operator authorization and monitoring, access controls, lighting improvements, and fatigue management can help ports achieve their goal of zero accidents.

Pulling up at Vigan’s gates in Nivelles, just outside Brussels, there is not much initially to catch the eye. Other than the company name and logo above the entrance, and the knowledge gleaned from its website that the facility contains 10,000 m2 of floor space, there is little to give away what kind of company lives and works within.
Companies often focus too much on short-term costs when choosing container handling equipment and do not fully consider long-term maintenance, safety, and damage costs. A mini straddle carrier can provide both short and long-term savings compared to forklifts or reach stackers for medium companies moving 7-200 containers per week. Key factors in the total cost of ownership include purchase price, training requirements, maintenance costs, and potential yard damage depending on the carrier's design and wheel configuration. Investigating all options helps companies make decisions that avoid unexpected large costs in the future.
Palfinger provides innovative access and maintenance systems for the shipping and offshore industries. Their systems include Internal Tank Platforms (ITPs) for working inside cargo holds and tanks, Aerial Platforms for difficult to reach areas, and Hull Treatment Carrier systems for automated, environmentally friendly ship hull blasting and coating.

13. Consolidated Cargo
Targeted at Freight-forwarders and
consolidation freight companies
Allows for pre-loading prior to ocean
equipment arrival at the facility
Reduces labor costs
Allows for loading and unloading to be done
from all sides allowing for loading process to
be much easier and faster
Reduces time and motion of fork-lift back and
forth from cargo storing area saving more time
We have seen over a 90% reduction in
damages compared to the convention process
Keeps docks open due to physical container
loading and unloading taking a mere 5 minutes

14. Cartonized products, the issues faced
with conventional methods
All containers need to be dropped or driver
waiting time paid
Reduced free-time at the rail road together with
vast unloading time results in hefty per-diem
charges
3-20 man hours to unload floor loaded
containers
All cartons need to transferred to wooden
pallets at unload facility
All pallets then need to be moved to storing
area.
Fork-lifts running back and forth all day
Do we really save $1000 in freight by doing it
this way? This is what it costs on average per
container (only 20% of containers have cartons
loaded right to the roof)

15. Cartonized Cargo Continued…
We have an easier & cheaper alternative
Live unloads, no drops, no driver detention -
$350 saving on average
Wooden/Alloy pallets loaded and recessed
into the MTT – Cuts down on 50% of your
pallet costs and time to manipulate cargo
Pull the load to your racking & storing area
– No more back and forth with the fork-lifts
You will have access to all around the MTT
within your facility and if need, you will
trans-load the cartons to wooden pallets in
half the time. WE HAVE SEEN IT!!
Yes, you may lose some load factor but
some need to give a little to get a lot.
(however, 80% of containers are not
effected by our low profile MTT).
