Container stowage

Container stowage refers to the strategic placement and arrangement of shipping containers on a vessel or in a storage area. It involves organizing containers efficiently to ensure stability, safety, and optimal use of space while considering factors like weight distribution, container type, and destination. Proper stowage minimizes the risk of accidents, damage, and delays by balancing the load and allowing for smooth handling during loading and unloading. Essentially, it’s a careful plan to organize containers securely and logically for efficient transportation and storage.
