THE POSSIBLE CAUSES OF DAMAGE
TO THE CARGO SPACE DURING
CARGO OPERATION
The most common reasons for cargo damage are water damage, impacts that the container
took, and damages due to improper lashing and stuffing.
Water damage may occur due to the below reasons:
1. Condensation inside a container, especially if the container is being stuffed at high
humidity temperatures.
2. Temperature changes during the voyage of the vessel may also increase the
condensation inside the container, which may cause the cargo to get wet.
3. Water may get inside the container if there are any small holes on it, especially during the
voyage if a vessel encounters inclement weather conditions.
Improper lashing and stuffing:
◦ Extremely heavy cargo and uneven weight distribution, improper loading of the
pallets, and poor lashing are some of the reasons for cargo damage depending
on the cargo type, weight, and pieces. There are so many details when it comes to
how to properly stuff a container and properly lash the cargo.
◦ When the container is received at the warehouse, a thorough inspection is
needed. Check if there is any visible damage to the container from outside. Once
the unloading starts, if there is any visible damage to the cargo, stop the
unloading process immediately and notify your carrier and your insurance
company, if the cargo is insured.
GENERAL LAYOUT OF A CARGO
SPACE FOR A BULK CARRIER
General Layout of Cargo Spaces for Bulk
Carrier
•A bulk carrier is a cargo ship designed and built for carriage of The cargo hold structure with
topside tanks at bothshoulders and double bottoms with hoppers at both wings has been
designed as the best structure for dry bulk cargo transportation. The shape of topside tanks
provides sufficient stability to prevent dangerous cargo shift, and bilgehoppers contribute to
convenience in collecting the cargoes on discharge. Below is a typical midship section
andgeneral arrangement.
•On typical bulk carriers, the topside tank shown as (1) and bilge hopper tank shown as (2) in
Figure 77 compose adouble hull surrounding the cargo space, which together with the double
bottom provides hull strength and rigidity.Topside tank is a tank provided in cargo spaces at
both shoulders. Bilge hopper is a structure at both bottom wings incargo holds. This part of the
cargo hold is called the ‘bilge hopper’. Doublebottom tanks in way of bilge hopper areoften
called ‘bilge hopper tanks’.
