Heavy units such as steel coils or granite blocks require extra care when being loaded in containers. Detailed calculations of transport strains and effects on the container are necessary to ensure the safe transportation of heavy cargo.
In this webinar Christian Bohlken, Master Mariner and Marine Surveyor at Battermann & Tillery discussed preparatory measures and procedures to allow for the secure stowage and transport of single heavy units. Parameters for the load distribution, setting up of appropriate layers of bedding, and the provision of suitable skids are suitable methods to prevent damage to the cargo throughout the journey.
