9. General Recommendations The number of cargo dry pak to be used may Very depending on shipping conditions and The nature of the products being protected. General Recommendations : For 20 feet Container : 1000 gms x 8-10 Nos. Or 2000 gms x10-12 Nos. For 40 feet container : 1000 gms x 16-18 Nos. Or 2000 gms x 16-20 Nos.
10. Plus Points Using Cargo Dry Pak Environmentally Safe Ship goods without the threat of Container Rain Absorb up to 158% of its weight in moisture Inhibits the formation of mold, mildew rust and corrosion Provides 50 days or more of moisture protection Prevents weak cartons and loose lables caused by moisture Easy to install with convenient hook
11. Check List Before Shipping Close the vent holes with tape when you have a dry cargo. The container will still breathe, but more slowly. Moist cargo may be shipped with vent holes open or closed. No corrosion or holes on any side , doors and seals are in good conditions. Check that the container floor, pallets and packaging are dry. Softwood packaging should have maximum 18-19 % moisture not more than that. Cargo in pallets must be able to dry. Check that any shrink wrap or other plastic packaging does not cover completely. Check that the Cargo Dry pack are not covered. There should be at least a few cm of free space in front of most of the grille area. Check that all Bags are securely hung and that any Bags will not be crushed by the cargo .
This document discusses principles of logistics management. It defines logistics management as planning, implementing, and controlling the efficient flow of goods from origin to consumption to meet customer needs. Logistics plays an important role in the economy by creating time and place utility, and plays a key role in organizations by supporting marketing and adding value through possession, time, and place utility. The document outlines key components and activities of logistics management including demand forecasting, inventory management, transportation, and customer service.
Shipping container architecture uses steel shipping containers as structural elements for buildings. Containers are strong, widely available, and inexpensive building materials. They are modular in size, allowing multiple containers to be stacked or arranged in different configurations. Some advantages are low construction costs, short building timelines, and potential for difficult sites. However, containers can have issues with insulation, labor costs, and obtaining permits for residential use. Overall, shipping container architecture provides an affordable and flexible building method.
The document discusses supply chain and logistics concepts including:
1) Physical distribution involves choosing warehouses and transportation carriers to deliver goods in the desired time at lowest cost. Physical distribution has expanded into supply chain management.
2) Supply chain management involves procuring inputs, efficiently converting them into finished products, and dispatching them to customers.
3) Market logistics planning involves four stages - deciding on a value proposition, developing operational excellence, implementing solutions, and deciding on a channel/network strategy.
This document discusses logistics management strategies and their formulation and implementation. It covers linking a firm's strategy to its logistics strategy, setting logistics goals and making decisions, analyzing logistics networks, formulating logistics strategies including different channel strategies, and implementing and measuring performance of logistics strategies. Key aspects covered include aligning business and logistics strategies, common logistics challenges, and key performance indicators for evaluating service and inventory management.
A supply chain is the network of organizations involved in producing and delivering a product, from raw materials to the end customer. It includes upstream suppliers, internal production and packaging, and downstream distribution centers and retailers. Effective supply chain management coordinates activities across this network to optimize material, information and financial flows. Key goals are reducing costs and uncertainties while improving customer service. Modern supply chains leverage information technology to facilitate coordination and information sharing among partners.

The document contains 5 charts showing the appreciation of the Swiss franc against major currencies like the US dollar, euro, South Korean won, and Singapore dollar over time. The final chart shows gold appreciating against the Swiss franc. The trends indicate a move away from risky assets towards safe havens as both gold and the Swiss franc are seen as safe haven investments during times of economic uncertainty and a lack of confidence in current monetary policies.
The document analyzes hourly charts of the EUR-USD currency pair and identifies four regions showing shifts in market momentum. Region A shows bears gaining control as prices form lower highs and lows. Region B sees an initial attempt by buyers to push prices higher but the trend fails to accelerate. Region C shows bears regaining control with an acceleration in the downward trend. Region D identifies signs of the trend changing as buyers push prices higher with acceleration, forming higher highs and lows, signaling it is time to become buyers of dips in the market. The document advocates focusing less on labeling waves and more on understanding market structures and trends using Elliot wave analysis combined with Dow theory and analysis of trend acceleration.
The dollar-rupee pair is facing resistance at a major trend line, making a dip to 45.20-45 likely unless a follow-through occurs early next week. Exporters can look to cover 25-30% of their exposure at current levels next week given the possibility of the pair declining.
Wheat prices have stabilized between $2.50-4.00 per bushel over the past three decades, with support found around that level during the 2008-2009 bear market. The short-term chart for wheat futures suggests prices are poised to rise significantly in the near future.
The weekly Dow Jones Industrial Average chart shows a bullish market structure. Every major high and low is higher than the previous ones, and the Dow has retraced over 61.8% of losses from the 2007-2009 bear market, indicating a strong upward move. The downtrending line was broken almost a year ago and the index has remained above it. Immediate resistance levels are at 11,900-12,000, 12,300-12,500, and 13,100-13,300. The trend remains bullish as long as the Dow stays above 10,700, which is the major support level.
This document discusses currency options and factors that affect the USD/INR exchange rate. It covers underlying factors like current account flows, capital account flows, and stock markets. It also discusses implied and historical volatility, and how they relate to currency movements. Finally, it provides examples of using options strategies to profit from volatility or directional views of the USD/INR exchange rate, such as with straddles, call ladders, and bullish call spreads.
This document provides an overview of currency options and strategies for trading them. It discusses factors that affect currency prices, introduces basic option concepts, and explores strategies for profiting from volatility, directional bets, and ranged markets. These strategies include straddles, strangles, spreads, and arbitrage opportunities. The document also discusses option Greeks and how they relate to money-ness, time to expiration, and volatility.
