CSD (Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing)

The Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing (CSD) provides guidelines to ensure that cargo on ships is stored and tied down properly to prevent accidents. It considers the type of cargo, ship stability, and environmental conditions, promoting safe handling, efficient space use, and minimizing risks like shifting or falling. By following these standards, shipping companies help protect crew safety, cargo integrity, and the environment, while complying with international maritime safety regulations.
