Container size – A 20 feet container can not be loaded up on a 40 feet container, but the reverse is possible if the vessel structure allows it. Planners can also load a 40 feet container on top of two units of 20 feet container, this known as a "Russian stowage" or "mixed stowage". [21]
In container shipping, stowage planning refers to the arrangement of containers on board a container vessel. The stowage of a container ship involves different objectives, such as to optimize the available space and prevent damage to the goods, and more importantly, to minimize the time the vessel spends at the port terminal.
The Code details procedures for safe and secure stowage and timber securing systems. It also includes guidance for ship securing manuals and checklists for safe operations. [1] Because of the increased weight of timber cargoes on a deck, the Code requires the ship's stability to be calculated according to a set list of criteria and guidance. [4]
This method of stowage, referred to as roll-on/roll-off, was not adopted because of the large waste in potential cargo space on board the vessel, known as broken stowage. Instead, McLean modified his original concept into loading just the containers, not the chassis, onto the ship; hence the designation "container ship" or "box" ship.
Bulk Phosphate Stowage Factor (SF) about 0.90 m 3 /ton (32 ft 3 /ton) In fact, Ship A has space for 55,000 mtons on her holds 70,000/0.90 = 77,000 mtons or 2,470,000/32 = 77,000 mtons (rounded) However, Ship A can only take 55,000 mtons in weight of Bulk Phosphate before Ship A loadline is submerged Stowage Factor (SF) Example 2: Ship B

The berth allocation problem (also known as the berth scheduling problem) is a NP-complete problem in operations research, regarding the allocation of berth space for vessels in container terminals. Vessels arrive over time and the terminal operator needs to assign them to berths in order to be served (loading and unloading containers) as soon ...
