Cargo, intended to be loaded on a ship, is first received at the terminal. Papers are controlled and the cargo is checked or tallied to ascertain that the numbers of packages etc. are in accordance with the shipping papers. In some ports the cargo is also measured and/ or weighed. Cargo, then, is usually to unload the truck, railcar or barge and to store either in the shed or outside, waiting for the ship to arrive. When the ship arrives, the cargo is transported to the ship’s side, the derricks are rigged to raise the cargo from the dock and lower it into the hold. In the hold, stevedores stack the cargo carefully. Heavier loads are placed low and near the middle of the ship to give better balance. Loads are often lashed and secured, to keep them form shifting when the ship rolls and pitches at sea. In the port of discharge the reverse situation will be found: the cargo is unladen, discharged, transported into the shed, finally, delivered to the consignee. Unfortunately, cargo damage is often caused during cargo operation by small mistakes. In the case of damage to a cargo on board, it is vital that all the facts are recorded and documented. Considerable damage to cargo may result if due care is not paid to handling. The possibility of this source of damage occurs in both loading and discharging and thus devolves on an officer to give efficient attention on all occasions. Lack of care at port of loading may result in: 1. Inefficient and Improper Slinging. Case goods should be arranged more or less in like sizes before slinging. Heavy cases should not be slung with light cases. Canvas slings should be used for bagged goods in preference to rope slings. For very small packages wire net slings are preferable. With some classes of goods, easily breakable or readily made up into units, the use of trays affords the better methods. 2. The Use of Fork Lift Trucks. The use of these mechanical handling devices can constitute a serious source of cargo damage when working in a ship cargo space, if prudent precautions are not taken, albeit with these, very satisfactory loading and discharging handling and tonnage times can be achieved. However, inattention to ‘speed rates’ of the F.L.Ts, in relatively confined spaces can lead to collision with the interruption of existing stowage. It is not also unknown for the total load on a F.L.T. to become displaced, or even jettisoned, due to disregard of the elementary principles of load stability with a moving unit. 3. Cargo gear. Much damage to cargo results from slings contacting with hatch-coamings, bulwarks and obstructions within a compartment. This is due, in no small measure, to careless winch or crane work. 4. Crushing. Damage to cargo from ‘crushing’ is mainly due to lack of both thought and care in stowing. Incorrect use of wooden dunnage, unsuitable space allocations to cargo, insufficient attention paid to the type of cargo being loaded and to the order of stowage, are potential factors contributing to damage from this source.【缺少答案,请补充】
