GLASS CRATES: In the plate or sheet from this is a very fragile cargo requiring
great care in handling and stowing to avoid brackage. Plate and window glass is
packed in strong crates or cases which should be devoid of bettens on the outside
edges to enable them to rest on deck for their length.

They should be stowed on firm ground om tween deck preferably with extra large
and heavy packages in square of hatch for ease of handling. On no account should
glass be stowed on top of any cargo which is liable to settle such as coke bagged
stuff. The Courts have help that the stowage of glass on sand which was not
properly leveled and boarded over was ,,improper Stowage”.

Crates and cases of glass should always be stowed On Edge and in all cates plate
glass should be stowed Athwart. The general run window glass will stow
satisfactorily tore and alt if desired. It is essential that the crates be well chocked
off all brocken stowage filled with suitable material in order to reduce to a
minimum any movement in a scaway.

The use of trays for handling glass has many and decided advantages.

Crates of glass bottles stow at 2.23 2.79 M3 tonne. Crates of glassware vary in
stowage over a very wide range.

Glass beads should be stowed in metal drums. There is a case on record of glass
beads shipped in hessian bags, some bags were torn, as a result of which some of
the contents spilled on to a flour stowage, resulting in some of the flour shipment
being condemned.
