Loading
Before the loading of a ship all necessary preparations should be made both in the port and on board the ship. First of all, the cargo plan must be drawn up. Ship Agent and the Master draw up the cargo plan.
The Chief Stevedore, who is in charge of loading the ship, secures the necessary number of stevedore gangs, obtains port cargo handling facilities and supplies the tackles. He also supervises the correct tonnage allotment for the holds. In the process of loading the Chief Stevedore checks up if cargoes are properly stowed and trimmed. It is also his duty to see that the cargo should be properly secured from shifting.
On board the ship the Cargo Officer sees to that all necessary preparations for loading should be made. Under the supervision the crewmen clear the hatches. They roll back the tarpaulins from the hatches, remove hatch covers, and remove beams. The crewmen also get ready the ship’s winches, derricks and cranes, if any.
Different kinds of cargo require different equipment and appliances. So, for loading cases steel slings, net and pallets are necessary; bags require nets and canvas slings; heavy lifts are loaded either with heavy duty derricks or with ship’s or quay cranes; for loading flowing cargoes elevators and grabs are used; for loading containers there are gantry cranes; for loading Ro-Ro vessels various sorts of vehicles are used (such as auto trucks, forklift trucks, trailers); as to tankers, they are loaded with the help of pipelines and hoses.
