Year: 2002 Language: english Author: Thomas, R.E. Publisher: Son & Ferguson Ltd Edition: 4th ISBN: 0 85174 694 2 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 413 Description: The majority of the world's merchant ships exist to carry cargoes on a commercial basis from one place to another. The types of ship undertaking these voyages vary enormously, and they may range in size from the smallest coaster to vast oil tankers with cargo capacity approaching half a million tonnes. In every case, the loading, distribution, stowage, security and monitoring of the cargo is the prime importance to the safety of the ship, her personnel and equipment as well as her ability to earn a profit for her Owners. In addition the cargo may represent a potential source of danger to other parcels of cargo on board, and some or all cargo may pose a significant hazard to the environment should some disaster overtake the ship. Today, an increasing amount of the workload in planning and stowing the cargo is done ashore, often using computers, but the Masters must always be aware that the responsibility for the safety of the ship remains with him. He must satisfy himself that at all times the ship is being maintained in a safe condition, and will be able to undertake a proposed voyage with no danger to her structure or her cargo.
