Week 6
Learning Outcome
• Able to plan a container consolidation
• Able to calculate container floor strength and center of gravity
Packing Planning
Exception :
The Cargo is Big so that it cannot stowed side by
side
Residual Length
- 1.5 m- 1 m - 1 m- 1.5 m
For 40’
20’ Container
Floor Strength
Each of this Cross Member
can only support so much
weight
Floor Strength
Permissible
line load Payload (ton)/ residual length (meter)
40’ 27 / 9 = 3 ton/m
Floor Strength
20 tons
-1m 2,1 m long -1m
20 / 6,25 = 3.2 m
Floor Strength At least 3.2 m long
20 tons
-1m 2,1 m long -1m
20 / 6,25 = 3.2 m
Floor Strength practice At least X? m long
19 tons
-1m 2 m long -1m
