A Guide to Good Practice by Charles Bliault, Extra Master and North of England P&I Association Ltd
Proper stowage and securing of items of cargo is the utmost importance for the ship, and the items of the cargo themselves.
This guide takes the reader through the basic rules to be remembered on every occasion during the loading and securing of cargo, and describes where regulations, recommendations and general guidance can be found. It also describes recommended methods to be used for particular items and types of cargo, and gives guidance upon the points to be remembered during passage-planning and the voyage itself.
The aim of this guide is to increase the seafarers knowledge of the forces acting upon items of cargo, and of the requirements for the stowage and securing of cargo, in order to aid to loss prevention.
