Cargo net. A cargo net being used to unload sacks from a ship at Haikou New Port, Haikou City, Hainan, China. A cargo net is a type of net used for transferring cargo to and from ships. It is usually square or rectangular, but sometimes round, made of thick rope, with cinch ropes extending from the corners, and in some designs, the edges.

The yard was started as a cooperation between Kværner and the City of Philadelphia, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Government of the United States.Rebuilt and opened in 2000, the yard delivered its first ship in 2003: MV Manukai, a container cargo ship for Matson Line and the first of three, CV 2600 class sister vessels built for Matson through 2006.
