vessel stowage management

Vessel stowage management involves planning and organizing how cargo, containers, and freight are arranged on a ship. Its goal is to maximize space efficiency, ensure safety, and facilitate smooth unloading and loading. Managers consider factors like cargo weight, size, and destination to position items properly, maintaining vessel stability and balancing. Effective stowage management reduces delays, prevents accidents, and optimizes operational costs, ensuring the ship operates safely and efficiently throughout its voyage.
