This briefing provides loss prevention advice on the planning, loading, stowage and securing of break-bulk cargoes, and addresses some of the issues which have contributed to recent incidents. The proper, adequate and satisfactory stowage and securing of items of cargo are of utmost importance for the safety of the crew, the carrying ship, and the items of cargo themselves. If items of cargo are not stowed and secured in a proper manner, bearing in mind the intended voyage and the time of year, those items of cargo might shift from their stowage position, and damage might be sustained by the item of cargo or the ship, or ship’s staff might suffer injury. This can be as a result of differences in the size, shape, weight and packaging of the cargo, and/or due to a lack of lashing points or the ability to over-stow. By properly planning, loading and securing break-bulk cargoes significant damage to the cargo and the vessel can be avoided.
